Where’s the best spot to commemorate the 242nd birthday of America? In the very place where the Mayflower Pilgrims settled, of course! If your ideal patriotic getaway includes plenty of fun but also space to stretch out and relax, the Captain Farris House has you covered for a Cape Cod Fourth of July! Here are the best places to enjoy dazzling fireworks displays and fun festivities with fewer crowds.
The Best Ways to Enjoy a Relaxing Cape Cod Fourth of July
On a Whale Watching Cruise
Escape the crowds on land and have a truly special Independence Day by watching fireworks onboard a ship in the Provincetown Harbor. On July 4th, Dolphin Fleet Whale Watch offers special cruises at dusk that include whale watching and fireworks or fireworks only. Be sure to reserve your spot early as these cruises fill up quickly!
On a Harbor Sunset Cruise
For another fabulous evening cruise, join Bay Spirit Tours at sunset in the old Hyannis Harbor. Watch as the sun sets over the Hyannis Port before sparkling fireworks light up the sky. Enjoy light music, a bar on the lower deck where you can purchase beverages and snacks, and plenty of space to relax!
From the Beach Overlooking the Ocean
For fireworks on-land, we recommend finding a spot on the beach where you can catch the shows over the water. The best viewing spots are on the beaches in Dennis, the West Yarmouth beaches along Lewis Bay, and Rock Harbor in Orleans. Enjoy dinner at one of the local restaurants in town and then walk to the beach, or pack a picnic and a blanket and find a cozy spot in the sand.
When you stay with us at the Captain Farris House, we will supply you with beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels so that you have all the essentials for your trip to the beach!
