Forty miles of pristine sandy beach, marshes, ponds, and uplands support diverse species. Lighthouses, cultural landscapes, and wild cranberry bogs offer a glimpse of Cape Cod’s past and continuing ways of life. Swimming beaches and walking and biking trails sounds like a good summer vacation. The Cape's weather changes significantly with the seasons. Spring can often be cool and damp with temperatures ranging in the mid-40s. Summer usually provides warm days, ranging between 70 and 80 degrees, and cool nights. Cape Cod, Marthas Vineyard, and Nantucket Massachusetts are all surrounded by beautiful scenic beaches. There are beaches on the bay and ocean sides of the islands, salt ponds, freshwater ponds, and freshwater kettle ponds. Bayside beaches have interesting high and low tides, where the water recedes out and sandbars are formed. Some Cape and Islands town beaches require season permits, while others are free and open to the public. Cape Cod is one of the premier golf destinations, with over 50 golf courses to choose from on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Islands. Whether you plan to spend your Cape Cod vacation relaxing or on the go, Cape Cod offers a wide array of recreations, including land and sea activities for both the young and the young at heart.

Summer vacation in Cape Cod, wonderful, a really nice choice. Relaxing on a sandy beach, listening to the soothing sound of the surf, enjoying the warmth of the sun, ohhhhh... what a perfect place for enjoying the summer. Spent at Cape during summer is wonderful, but it will be very crowded due to the fact that schools are out and the majority of families vacation sometime between mid-June and Labor Day. If you plan your vacation other than summer, than you are lucky!

Cape Cod is a wonderful place to visit which is having 1000’s of acres of shoreline, wonderful landscape, lighthouses, swimming beaches, historic structures, nature trails and picnic areas.
There is plenty to do, in Cape Cod, you can enjoy the short, self-guided nature walks at the Cape Cod National Seashore in Eastham or Wellfleet. They're scenic, and well-marked. Rental bicycles and bikes are available so you can rent a bike or bicycle and ride on the Cape Cod Canal path or the Cape Cod Rail Trail path to see breathtaking natural beauty. Go for a thrilling horseback tour which is also taking you to the extreme nature.
Massachusetts Whale Watching is a popular activity for everyone while their visit. So if you find time don’t miss this.
Hmm, I could say driving is more relaxing, parking is easier, shops are less crowded, lodging is less expensive, and restaurants are rarely crowd, so have a nice summer vavation in Cape Cod!

I'd like to suggest a different type of Cape Cod vacation that is becoming very popular. It's renting a cottage at the ocean in the Cape Cod National Seashore Park. Most of these cottages are older in a "retro" kind of way (knotty pine walls, no cable TV, no broadband Internet service).
The drawing point of staying at these cottages is getting a break from your daily life of TV, Internet and Xbox and spending the week having an old fashioned vacation. This is the type of vacation where the beach is the major attraction. The beach, which is only a few steps from your cottage, takes center stage but there are also other activities such as Whale-Watching, shopping, dining on seafood and going to a drive-in movie.
Although such a spartan vacation may at first make you recoil and say you'd prefer a full-service resort, many families who do take such a vacation, end up returning year after year because they are creating family times that will be fondly remembered by their children for the rest of their lives. Evenings playing family games or making a jigsaw puzzle or taking a family stroll along the ocean beach by moonlight create memories that no one will every erase.
Doing a Google search for "cape cod oceanside cottages" will bring you a list of such rentals. If you want to be in the National Seashore, however, you will have to find properties in the Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro or Provincetown areas. My favorite is the Wellfleet Area because you are not too far from other parts of the Cape and this allows you access to a larger variety of activities.
