Things To Do
Cape Cod National Seashore
The Cape Cod National Seashore, created on August 7, 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, encompasses 43,607 acres on Cape Cod with a 40-mile stretch of coastline including Nauset Beach, Marconi Beach and Race Point beaches (all rank in the top 10 in the United States). Beyond the shores there are plenty of hiking and biking trails to explore, and two helpful visitor centers that are worth a pit stop!
The Pilgrim Monument
The Pilgrim Monument was built between 1907 and 1910, to commemorate the first landing of the Mayflower Pilgrims in Provincetown on November 11, 1620. The heart-healthy walk to the top of 116 steps and 60 ramps only takes about 10 minutes at a leisurely pace and provides the best view of Cape Cod Bay! The monument is the tallest all-granite structure in the United States. While you are there, don't forget to check out Provincetown (P-Town) and its unique culture!
Provincentown Spooky Weekend
Provincetown Halloween festivities begin Thursday and extend through the weekend. Events include spooky parties, haunted dances, events for families, and a costume ball. Amp up your costumes for the wackiest, scariest, and most salacious Halloween fun that only Provincetown offers.
Cape Cod Potato Chips
Cape Cod Potato Chips began as a dream of two business owners and on July 4, 1980 their dream became a reality when they opened a small store front in Hyannis, MA. The public's love of their snacks inspired them to open the factory doors for tours in 1985. Since then, the Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory Tour has become the Cape's larges tourist attraction! They are open Monday-Friday for tours between 9am - 5pm.
Nauset Lighthouse
Nauset Light, is a restored lighthouse on the Cape Cod National Seashore near Eastham, MA. It was erected in 1923 using the 1877 tower that was moved here from Chatham Light. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Chatham Squire
A must see, funky restaurant/bar in the heart of Chatham. For those baseball fans, the movie Summer Catch was filmed in and around Chatham, to depict the life of a Cape League ballplayer. The Squire was the backdrop for the bar the players frequented during the movie. October hours are 11:30 -1:00am daily.
