Top 10 for Visiting Cape Cod

When vacationing on Cape Cod, there are several things to watch for to ensure you have a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Here are some key considerations:

  1. Weather: Keep an eye on the weather forecast before and during your trip. Cape Cod can experience unpredictable weather patterns, so be prepared for changes and pack appropriate clothing for various conditions.
  2. Traffic: Cape Cod is a popular tourist destination, especially during the summer months. Traffic congestion can occur on the bridges connecting the Cape to the mainland and along major routes. Plan your travel accordingly and try to avoid peak travel times if possible.
  3. Beach Conditions: Cape Cod is known for its beautiful beaches, but it’s important to be aware of the beach conditions. Pay attention to any beach advisories or warnings regarding water quality, currents, or marine life. Observe posted signs and follow lifeguards’ instructions for your safety.
  4. Wildlife: Cape Cod is home to a variety of wildlife, including seals and sharks. While shark incidents are rare, it’s advisable to stay informed about any recent sightings or beach closures due to shark activity. Keep a safe distance from seals and other wildlife to avoid disturbing them.
  5. Sun Protection: The Cape Cod region has plenty of sunshine, so protect yourself from harmful UV rays. Wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, and seek shade during the hottest parts of the day. Remember to stay hydrated as well.
  6. Mosquitoes and Ticks: Like many other coastal areas, Cape Cod has mosquitoes and ticks. Use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants, especially when exploring wooded or grassy areas. Check yourself for ticks after spending time outdoors and follow proper tick removal techniques if necessary.
  7. Recreation Permits: If you plan on engaging in activities such as fishing, off-road driving, or camping, check if any permits or licenses are required. Familiarize yourself with local regulations and obtain the necessary permissions beforehand.
  8. Local Regulations: Be aware of local rules and regulations, including parking restrictions, beach access, and any specific town ordinances. Respect the environment and follow guidelines for waste disposal and recycling.
  9. Restaurant Reservations: Cape Cod has numerous excellent dining options, particularly during peak tourist season. Make restaurant reservations in advance to secure your preferred dining choices, especially for popular waterfront locations.
  10. Local Events and Festivals: Cape Cod hosts various events and festivals throughout the year. Check local event listings to see if there are any activities or attractions that align with your interests during your visit.

Remember to do your research, plan ahead, and stay informed to make the most of your vacation on Cape Cod. Enjoy the scenic beauty, coastal charm, and leisurely atmosphere that the Cape has to offer.

Three Sisters Lighthouses

Courtesy of National Parks Service

The Three Sisters are a series of lighthouses located in Eastham, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. The lighthouses, which were built in 1838, were named for the three daughters of the local lighthouse keeper, who lived in the keeper’s house that still stands near the lights.

The Three Sisters served as a crucial aid to navigation for mariners on their way to and from Boston and other nearby ports, and they played an important role in the growth and development of the shipping industry in the area. Over the years, the lighthouses have undergone many changes and renovations, but they remain a beloved and iconic part of the Eastham community.

In recent years, the Three Sisters have become a popular tourist attraction, drawing thousands of visitors each year to admire their beauty and learn about their rich history. The lighthouses are open to the public, and visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. They are also part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, which was established by Congress in 1961 to protect and preserve the natural beauty of the Cape Cod region.
