Cape Cod
See All Lists
1. Provincetown, Ma
Three miles long
and
two streets wide
P-town is the very tip, the end of the world. Keep going on Cape Cod until you can't go any further and this is where you end up. A narrow spit of sand that is packed with history and surrounded by water. A…More »
2. Head of the Meadow
Wind
dunes
and
lost ships
Head of the Meadow Beach is part of the 40 miles that makes up the Cape Cod National Seashore. The other beaches include Coast Guard, Nauset Light Beach, Marconi, Race Point and Herring Cove Beach. Yelp gives the address of…More »
3. Eastham Turnip Festival
A
celebration
of
turnips
Eastham has been famous for its turnips for a long time. The sandy soil with lots of nitrogen is perfect for growing sweet turnips. Nobody is really sure where the Eastham variety of turnip comes form, some say its from…More »
4. Provincetown Library
A library
with a
surprise upstairs
Provincetown has very close connections with the ocean and like many places associated with the sea, great drawings, photos and models of ocean scenes, lighthouses and beaches are common. However I never expected to…More »
5. Spank the Monkey
Provincetown, MA 02657
(508) 487-3942
Categories:
Leather Goods,
Tobacco Shops,
Jewelry,
Books, Mags, Music and Video,
Lingerie,
Adult
It's not
what
you think
Because of the prurient, licentious and rather humorous name, many people expect this to be some kind of whack shack. It's not, Spank the Monkey is actually a very cool little jewelry store. If you want adult and bizarre…More »
6. Cape Cod Rail Trail
Flat
fast
fun
and
fantastic
The Cape Cod Rail Trail is an absolute gem. A great 22 mile old railroad bed that starts (or ends) in South Wellfleet, goes through the quaint villages of Harwich, Brewster, Orleans and Eastham and then ends (or starts) in…More »
7. Tim's Used Books
New books
old books
and books
in between
Tims' is a bookstore located right on Main Street in the center of Hyannis. Not a particularly large store, it has the delightfully sloppy and unorganized look that I love in used bookstores. Books just kind…More »
8. Woods Hole Science Aquarium
The oldest
aquarium
in the
United States
The Woods Hole Science Aquarium was founded in 1885 by Spencer Baird as a research station and place where the public could learn about and become acquainted with the local sea creatures. It's being doing…More »
9. Eastham Windmill
A
very
old
windmill
Eastham Windmill is not only a very old windmill but the actually the oldest windmill on Cape Cod. It was built waaaaaay back in 1680 by Thomas Paine. Since it is always windy on the Cape, windmills were a great source of power for…More »
10. Wellfleet Public Library
A library
with a
porch
Wellfleet is a pleasant little town on Cape Cod. It's typical of many Cape Cod towns with beautiful beaches, great dunes, open ocean and a unique charm. So it's quite appropriate that the town has a beautiful and unique…More »
11. Truro Public Library
A
wonderful
new
library
I tend to like the old, quaint and historical libraries because most of the new ones tend to be functional and useful boxes built by the lowest bidder. Most certainly do what they were designed to do but have a boring and…More »
12. Wiley Park
A soft
place
to hike
Wiley Park is a 44 acre park tucked away in a quiet part of Eastham. There is a 15 dollar parking fee in the summer but of course after Sept. you can go there for free and if you happen to be nearby you can walk or bike in at any…More »
13. Eastham Public Library
Enriching lives
and
educating children
Enriching lives and educating children is one what biography states the purpose of the Eastham Library is. Definitely a pretty accurate description, this is a library that does a lot of things and manages to look…More »
14. Marstons Mills Public Library
Marstons Mills, MA 02648
(508) 428-5175
A library
on the
cape
Marstons Mills is a itty, bitty village in the city of Barnstable on Cape Cod. Definitely a cool, little place but not really a whole lot there. However they do have one very impressive and extremely friendly library.
The…More »

Wellfleet, MA 02667
(508) 349-0300
Go
back
in
time
I love Wellfleet, it's my favorite part of the Cape. We have been coming here for years, owned property here and still have friends we frequently visit. Surprisingly it really hasn't changed that much over the years.
Sure the traffic on…More »
16. Hyannis Public Library
Hyannis, MA 02601
(508) 775-2280
Two
different
worlds
The Hyannis Library is one of the oddest libraries I have ever been in. It started out like most libraries in New England as a tiny place that just kept growing. The original part was a cool 18th century cottage that became the…More »
17. Himalayan Handicrafts
Clothing
jewelry
and
music
Himalayan Handicrafts is one of those tiny little places that is absolutely packed with stuff. In the nice weather they put some of the clothing outside so there is more room but it still is difficult to move around.
Lots…More »
18. Sandwich Public Library
The
next
hundred
years
Back in 1909 Sophia and William Weston decided their small Cape Cod town needed a library so they generously donated enough money to have the land purchased and structure built. A few changes and additions have been added over the…More »
19. Marconi Beach
A utterly fantastic place, how could I not give it 5 stars. Large enough so even in the summer it does not seem crowded and in the off season can be completely deserted and a great place for a winter walk. Sure the water is cold enough to freeze off…More »
20. Viking Princess Cruises
Sunsets
lighthouses
and
critters
Provincetown is surrounded by water and even though there are plently of cool things to do in the town itself, it's even cooler to actually get out on the water. And one of the very coolest ways to get out on the water…More »
21. Nauset Lighthouse
A very
restless
lighthouse
Most people know the story about how Nauset Light was moved back over 300 feet from the cliffs and ocean in 1996 because it was in imminent danger of taking a swim. It was less than 50 feet from the edge and one more big…More »
22. Lighthouse Restaurant
A great little restaurant located right in the center on Wellfleet that has been here forever. I have been here for breakfast many times and it's always great.
The smell of the coffee is wonderful as you walk in the door and it fact you can actually…More »
23. Long Point Lighthouse
A
very
lonely
spot
The end of the world. It sure feels like it. The absolutely tip of the tip. The end of Provincetown and Cape Cod. You can't go any further or you'll be in the sea. What a great place.
The problem is how the hell to get to the end of…More »
24. The Surf Club
Good food
and a
great view
The Surf Club is what I expect from a P-town restaurant. Crowded, noisy but with good seafood and great views. I have been here before when the service was excucriating slow but they seemed to have picked it up a bit. Still…More »
25. Pilgrim Monument & Provincetown Museum
One
Hundred
Years
This week is the one hundredth anniversary of the Pilgrim Monument. When they built this incredible tower back in 1910 it was a real big deal. President Theodore Roosevelt showed up for the laying of the cornerstone and President…More »

26. Nobska Point Lighthouse
A
light
that
still
shines
The first light established on Nobska Point was in 1828 and the present light was constructed in 1876. The tower is 40 feet high but seems much taller and presently has a 4th order Fresnel Lens.
This is the light you see when you…More »
27. Cock & Bull Leather
Belts
bags
and
buckles
Despite the inherent humor in it's name, this is actually an interesting and quality leather shop. Of course being in the diverse and occasionally profligate confines of Provincetown, the cool sign gets a bit of attention.
The…More »
28. Glass Gazebo
Provincetown, MA 02657
(508) 487-0564
Creative
original
and
exquisite

Provincetown, MA 02657
(508) 487-8776
For folks
that like
Black Dogs
If you walk around any of the beaches or vacation spots in New England you will inevitable see a black dog. Perhaps a big stinky, dumb and friendly real black dog but more likely something with the Black Dog logo.

30. Race Point Lighhouse
The
end
of
the
world
Race Point Lighthouse is a wild, wild place. It's located on the very end of Cape Cod and is exposed to howling winds, blowing sand and unpredictable, sinister and malefic currents. The name race means a very strong and dangerous…More »
31. Fort Hill Trail
A trail for
hiking
looking and
learning.

32. Uncle Tim's Bridge
If you live or frequently go to Wellfleet then you know about Uncle Tim's Bridge, if you don't go to the area then you probably never heard of it. It's a small foot bridge that has become an Wellfleet icon, a symbol of the town. Easily the most…More »
33. Cape Cod Canal Bike Path
A bike path
made for
ships.
The Cape Cod Canal was completed in 1916 and was improved several times throughout the years. Of course it's main purpose is to save ships the time and hazards of going all the way around the tip of the cape but it also…More »
34. Cape Cod Super Buffet
A place
you will
not leave
hungry
I don't know how "super" Cape Cod Boofay is but it certainly is pretty good. Most boofays seem to stress quantity over quality but Cape Cod Boofay does have some substance to it.
It doesn't have the largest selection…More »
