Craft the Ultimate Itinerary for Your Cape Cod Summer Vacation
Attend Cultural Events
Immerse yourself in the culture of Cape Cod! There’s no shortage of possibilities from concerts to cooking classes. The Cultural Center of Cape Cod is one of the best places to enjoy local events, and it’s across the street from the Captain Farris House! Wake up to a homemade breakfast at the inn, then simply walk over and view artwork, catch a show, and more. You can also test your wit with trivia contests or learn something new with a variety of educational classes. Whether you’re refining your culinary skills or mastering the art of dance, you’ll have a whole lot of fun in the process!
Keep an eye on the calendars for the Cape Cod Melody Tent and The Cape Playhouse, too! Both of these venues are minutes away from our inn and feature some of the hottest events of the summer. The Melody Tent is a not-for-profit theater in Hyannis, MA, offering concerts and musicals with immersive seating around the stage. The Cape Playhouse is a charming, small theater with exceptional theatrical performances throughout the summer. It has been bringing the arts to the community since 1927!
Tour the Heritage Museum and Gardens
Enjoy an afternoon adventure at the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, MA, this summer! When you walk into the museum, you’ll find rotating exhibits featuring history, artwork, technology, and more. One particularly popular display is the Carousel Gallery, with hand-carved figures from 1908. Feel free to hop on and go for a spin!
As you venture through the gardens, you’ll be delighted by more than 1,000 flower varieties across 100 beautiful acres. The gardens are open year-round, but summertime is especially enchanting when the hydrangeas and daylilies are in bloom.
Go Whale Watching
See something spectacular this summer on a whale watching cruise! Book an adventure with Dolphin Fleet Whale Watch, Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises, or Sea Salt Charters to get a front-row seat for watching these majestic creatures. Prime whale watching season is from mid-April to October, so summer is a great time to go.
Enjoy a Scenic Bike Ride
Whether you’re looking for romantic adventures on Cape Cod or you’d like to get closer to nature, a bike ride is a fantastic option. Feel free to rent a couple of bicycles and explore the 22 miles of beauty on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. It takes you through several villages and along the Cape Cod National Seashore for breathtaking views of our area. The South Dennis Trailhead is just minutes away from our South Yarmouth inn!
