Cape Cod Travel Guide: Best Beaches, Eats & Attractions

Whether you’re heading to Cape Cod to visit The Haven Center, or you’re visiting to kick back and relax on our beautiful beaches, you’ll love all that the area has to offer. Here, we’ll take a look at some of our favorite Cape Cod beaches, restaurants, museums, and landmarks.

Best Cape Cod Beaches

With miles upon miles of sandy shores, you’ll have tons of options to enjoy the beauty of the sea.

• Cape Cod National Seashore—Marconi Beach (99 Marconi Road, Wellfleet, MA): Known for stunning views and soft sand, Marconi Beach is the perfect place to take in the natural beauty of Cape Cod. The beach is named for Guglielmo Marconi, an inventor who made the first successful radio transmission across the Atlantic more than a century ago.
• Race Point Beach (Race Point Road, Provincetown, MA): At Race Point Beach, you’ll get to enjoy marshes, dunes, and expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean. If you’re a birdwatcher, you’ll love the wide variety of birds you’ll see darting from one dune to the next.
• Skaket Beach (131 Skaket Beach Road, Orleans, MA): Celebrated for its calm waters, the shallow shores of Skaket Beach are the perfect place for an afternoon family picnic, especially if you have little ones who love to splash around.

Top Cape Cod Restaurants

Whether you’re looking for upscale seafood, Irish delicacies, or standard seaside boardwalk fare, Cape Cod has what suits your fancy.

• Keltic Kitchen (415 MA-28, West Yarmouth, MA): Locals love Keltic Kitchen for its cozy ambiance, hearty comfort food, and innovative twists on classic Irish dishes. With breakfast, lunch, and dinner options, Keltic Kitchen offers fresh, local food that’s a great fit for fueling up after enjoying a relaxing day at the beach.
• The Marshside (28 Bridge Street, East Dennis, MA): Sit back and relax as you take in the stunning views of the grassy marshes—we especially recommend reserving a table at sunset. The restaurant specializes in seafood, and you’ll want to be sure to order a lobster roll, fried clams, and clam chowder.
• Scargo Café (799 Main Street, Dennis, MA): Another cozy Cape Cod eatery, Scargo Café offers contemporary American food made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. While you’ll find plenty of seafood options at Scargo, you’ll also get to enjoy vegetarian entrées, house-made pasta, and more.

Must-See Cape Cod Museums

Rainy day at the shore? Grab a coffee and enjoy a day visiting local museums.

• Cape Cod Museum of Art (60 Hope Lane, Dennis, MA): The Cape Cod Museum of Art offers a wide range of visual art exhibits, making a point to celebrate artists local to the Cape Cod area. Housed in a historic Cape Cod building, the museum regularly rotates its exhibits, creating a new experience each time you visit.
• Sandwich Glass Museum (129 Main Street, Sandwich, MA): No, this is not a museum filled with displays of glass sandwiches; rather, it celebrates the rich glassmaking history of the town of Sandwich. The Sandwich Glass Factory was established in the early 1800s, and it played a significant role in shaping the future of glassmaking in America.
• Cape Cod Museum of Natural History (869 Main Street, Brewster, MA): Whether you’ve been enjoying Cape Cod for years or you’re visiting for the first time, the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History offers the chance to learn more about the history, wildlife, and ecosystems of the Cape Cod National Seashore.

Can’t-Miss Cape Cod Landmarks

A trip to Cape Cod isn’t complete without enjoying a few lighthouses and evening strolls on the boardwalk.

• Nauset Lighthouse (120 Nauset Light Beach Road, Eastham, MA): The Nauset Lighthouse is an iconic Cape Cod landmark known for its distinctive white strips, and has long been a symbol of the area’s beauty and natural history. First constructed in 1838, the lighthouse is the perfect place for family photos or to kick back and enjoy a picnic lunch.
• Scargo Tower (Scargo Hill Road, South Dennis, MA): This century-old tower was originally built as a memorial to the residents of the town of Dennis, and has since become a cherished landmark for both locals and visitors. An important note: a short walk is required to get to the tower, but it’s not steep, making this landmark a good fit for those of all ages.
• Sandwich Boardwalk (103 Wood Avenue, Sandwich, MA): Whether you want to take in gorgeous views, get your steps in for the day, or you want to relax and watch some birds, the Sandwich Boardwalk is the perfect place to end a day of enjoying the sights and sounds of Cape Cod.
