5 of the Best Things to Do on Your Cape Cod Spring Getaway
1. Immerse Yourself in Natural Beauty
With colorful flowers blooming everywhere, Cape Cod’s landscape becomes even more spectacular in the spring. The views are incredible, and visiting in the off-season lets you witness the local beauty in its purest form without any crowds or distractions. Here are some of the best ways to savor the sight and scent of spring flowers during your vacation!
- Take a scenic drive down Old King’s Highway
- Go hiking at the Cape Cod National Seashore
- Bike along the Cape Cod Rail Trail
2. Go Whale Watching
As the flowers bloom on land, something remarkable happens in the water, too! Cape Cod whale watching season runs from April through October, so spring is the perfect time of year to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures. To describe the experience as breathtaking would be an understatement. Venture out onto seas with one of these local companies to see it for yourself!
3. Indulge in Local Cuisine (Without the Wait!)
After a sleepy winter, seasonal Cape Cod restaurants open their doors once again to offer fresh menus with mouthwatering dishes. Whether you’re planning a romantic date night or you’d like to grab a quick bite on the way to the beach, we can help you find the perfect spot.

You can even travel along the shoreline on horseback! Here are a few of the stunning beaches near our inn:
