TRUST ME. We are upper/mid-cape people. But, I do second the drve in, eapecially if you have a baby who is a good sleeper. I think the flea market is still running there, too on the weekends. If you are meat eaters, head to Hyannis and go to the Brazillian Grille. Semi-pricey but it's a huge buffet and the meat is amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1081005 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:53:12 +0000 MrsKoala 1081005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also know a ton of restaurants near Brewster (I used to work a hotel in Brewster) so let me know if you want some specific recommendations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1080998 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:52:12 +0000 MrsKoala 1080998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chrispygal: Ha! Great minds!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1080997 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:51:53 +0000 MrsKoala 1080997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wellfleet Drive-In!<br /> Shopping on the Chatham Main Street and stopping at the Candy Manor in Chatham.<br /> Arnolds in Eastham is my favorite for clam strips but they get busy quickly.<br /> Ben &amp; Jerry's in Eastham and then going to First Encounter Beach on the bay side and walking out to explore at low tide.<br /> The Cape Cod National Seashore Visitor's Center is pretty cool.<br /> My grandparents always take us to brunch at Brax Landing in Harwich.<br /> Definitely biking the Rail Trail!<br /> Love the food at the Jailhouse Tavern in Orleans.<br /> There's a seal cruise to Monomoy Island off of Chatham that I've always wanted to do.. </p> <p>And that was a lot of info... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1080986 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:47:43 +0000 chrispygal 1080986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wellfleet Drive In!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1080981 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:44:46 +0000 Foodnerd81 1080981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: I've only done a whale watch once and we got really sea sick (bad weather) so I would not be inclined to bring a baby on it, but I don't think that's the norm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1078644 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:11:59 +0000 petunia354 1078644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: That thought did cross my mind....although I think I might try and make an argument that a day trip isn't long enough and that we'll need to take another long weekend trip sometime. Lol, wish me luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1078615 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:05:06 +0000 LindsayInNY 1078615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: Depending on where you're staying on the Cape, you could always take the ferry over for a day trip?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1078605 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:03:15 +0000 petunia354 1078605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Ah! I've never been to the Vineyard but have always wanted to go!! At least now I know who to ask for recs :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1078561 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 08:48:03 +0000 LindsayInNY 1078561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're Vineyarders so I can't really help with the Cape... But have fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1078553 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 08:46:15 +0000 petunia354 1078553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: We are staying in Brewster, right on the rail trail so that is definitely on our to-do list! I think we can rent a baby trailer for our bikes too. We're on the fence about a whale watch...not sure it's a great idea to bring a baby on a 4 hour boat ride, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1078534 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 08:39:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 1078534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh I love the Cape in the early fall! Though its going to feel like summer I guess. Where are you staying? We usually do plenty of mini golf, since its a compromise if Dh wanting to golf every minute o the day and me wanting to see him :). And ice cream. If you have bikes or want to rent I love biking the rail trail (we are usual in Brewster so it's right there). Not sure if you can rent a baby seat or trailer though. </p> <p>Have fun! I think we are going to bring our baby out there to see dh's grandmother and do our first overnight away from the house in October. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-favorite-things-to-do-on-cape-cod#post-1078518 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 08:35:19 +0000 petunia354 1078518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are headed to the Cape tonight and are staying through Monday! I used to go for a month every summer when I was a kid but I haven't been back in SO long. DH has never been so I want to show him a good time! DS is 8 months and pretty portable and easygoing.</p> <p>We've got a few things planned but figured it wouldn't hurt to find out other peoples favorite things to do/restaurants/hidden gems :) </p>
