Things to do in Cape Cod, Cape Cod: The Best Transportation

March 3, 2022 Hector Krause

The Atlantic crashes on a coastline strewn with quaint harbors, windswept beaches, glorious dunes and blinking lighthouses. Explore Cape Cod National Seashore, bike past cranberry bogs on the Rail Trail or saunter around Sandwich, the Cape's oldest town. Many areas are architectural and culinary gems - full of weathered shingles, whaling captains' mansions, chowder shacks and upscale dining delights. Don't miss Woods Hole Oceanquest, famed Martha's Vineyard or charmingly upbeat Provincetown.

a great way to get to the Island of Nantucket which is a great day trip or a place to spend some great vacation days. We mostly spend about a week or ten days here. a great beach is available and the town itself is a true gem. The small restaurants are very nice and so are the large ones, however the large ones tend to be a bit expensive and I like the felling I get in the smaller ones plus saving money also. The small places to stay on the Island are very nice and clean and the owners are for the most part very proud of there places.The shops are varied and it is fun sometimes just to kind of window shop and pick up some small things for friends and family. The steamship is a nice,fast,clean way to go and the price is not bad. If you bike take one.If they take cars when you go over for more than a day take it. If not you will pay dearly for a rent a car service. I say this due to it was long ago I made my first trip over and someone said You do not need a car as it is a small Island,Oh,did I find out.Rented a car and left a brand new Caddy in a parking lot on the mainland. Bad move folks. This is personal advise,take it or leave it. that is an old saying but the correct part is Take it.do not leave it.so we visit and take it for the long time stays. short stay of a day or even two you can get around ok or hire a cab or bus like vehicle. Have a great time. It is an outstanding place to visit.

Took the ferry from Woods Hole to Martha’s Vineyard and back. Simple process- took the shuttle from a Falmouth parking lot on the way out and returned with relatives who took their vehicle to the island and got to experience the efficient de-boarding process in a car. The trip out was rainy so we rode inside and the trip home was very cold and windy but sunny so we spent some inside and some outside. Really smooth ride despite the conditions both days.

Long Point Shuttle

Take a 10 minute shuttle ride over to Long Point to see the very tip of Cape Cod! Part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, Long Point is completely undeveloped with the exception of a lighthouse. The only way to access the beach is on foot or by boat, so it is often far less crowded than other beaches in Provincetown. A favorite spot for locals, Long Point is definitely a must see stop on your trip to Provincetown!

A fun, easy way to get over to Long Point. I enjoy exploring and rock collecting as well as getting close-ups of the iconic lighthouse. Fun for a couple hours or for the day.
