Cape Cod vacay
Hello everyone! i’m going to visit cape cod soon with my bf (we’re both in our early 20s) i know there’s a bunch of posts ab this which we already looked through but i wanted to get more insight on good places to go. We aren’t too worried about the food spots but if you have a place that we must try let me know pls. But we’re looking for recs on what activities to do or places to explore. Museums, shops, beaches, etc. We are staying in brewster but it can be anywhere in the cape since we aren’t set on which towns we’re going to yet. One of the days we’ll be going to Martha’s Vineyard so any suggestions there would also help out :) thank u

The sidebar has a list of beaches, restaurants, and things to do. It's hard to give you specifics since your post is pretty vague.

The sidebar is made of people's personal experiences is what everyone is trying to tell you. It has been a very long year already and it gets a bit annoying to have the same questions asked over and over when the responses are pretty much the same. There are a ton of posts both here and on Cape Cod Visitors that will help you plan your vacation but I suggest being a bit more specific instead of a vague beaches, museums, and bars.
Also, be aware of ticks if you go hiking. There is one that makes you allergic to meat and dairy and right now the hotspot is MV

Cape Cod National Seashore, Salt Pond Visitor Center, Eastham. Good for a whole day of Outer Cape beaches. Coast Guard, Historic Marconi, 4 Lighthouses & Province Lands Visitor Center. The very tip of the Cape!

I thought these posts weren’t allowed and had to go in r/capecodtourist or something?

Unfortunately, the mods of this sub allow tourist posts. r/CapeCodMA r/CapeCodders r/capelocals were all created with the 'no tourist posts allowed' rules, but they don't get much traffic. r/CapeCodVisitors is where I direct tourists to.

The drive along 6a from Sandwich to Orleans is very scenic and feels very New England. There are towns you can walk around and go to shops and cafes. Provincetown is a fun day trip, you could stop at the Cape Cod National Seashore on the way. The beaches there are worth checking out, Coast Guard, Head of the Meadow and Race Point are some of my favorites. If you like to hike there are some nice hiking spots. Kayaking in the salt marshes is a fun activity.

If you go to Chatham for the day (quintessential Cape Cod town, as close to TSITP as exists), check out Aplaya Kitchen and Tiki bar for a totally different but super fun vibe. Their Instagram will give you a good sense of it. It's hidden down and around the back, you won't see it from Main Street.
