Summer on Cape Cod

Summer on Cape Cod is a quintessential New England experience, characterized by picturesque beaches, quaint coastal towns and a vibrant atmosphere. As the temperature rises and the days grow longer, the Cape is the perfect place to soak up the sun, enjoy fresh seafood, and explore the natural beauty of the region.

From the sandy shores of Cape Cod National Seashore to the charming bayside beaches, miles of coastline await for sunbathing, building sandcastles, collecting seashells, or surfing in the gentle waves of the Atlantic Ocean.

Beyond the beaches, Cape Cod's coastal towns come alive with activity during the summer months. Charming downtown hubs offer eclectic boutiques, art galleries, ice cream parlors and unique shops. Cape Cod cuisine is a highlight of any visit, with fresh seafood caught daily by local fishermen.
 

For nature enthusiasts, hiking and biking trails wind through lush forests and marshlands, providing opportunities to spot wildlife such as shorebirds and seals. Kayakers and paddleboarders can explore the region's many scenic waterways, including tranquil estuaries, kettle ponds and secluded coves. The annual Cape Cod Hydrangea Fest in July offers tours of private gardens, featuring showy hydrangeas and other seasonal blooms.

As the sun sets on Cape Cod, the fun continues with live music, theater performances, open-air concerts, Cape Cod Baseball League games and movie showings under the stars.

Of course, no summer night on Cape Cod would be complete without a sunset on the beach....appearing nightly.
