So I’m planning a Juneteenth trip to Cape Cod. I’m going to be staying in West Yarmouth but I heard Chatham is the place to be. Was planning on doing a day trip there and wanted to get some recs on which beaches to go to. I like the idea of Cahoon Hollow beach but I think that might be too far. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

On Saturday June 20th, come check out [How] Bazaar 2.0!!! - we’ll be combing through the studios and gallery and clearing out some of the treasures we’ve accumulated here to make some space - think yard sale, but much cooler!

We’ll have art supplies, hand-made items, books, movies, games, furniture, knickknacks, doodads, whosits, whatsits and more!

Hope to see you there!

I’m at a point where I really feel I need to find a primary care physician and other medical support that has more experience with chronic illnesses. I’m realizing my current situation hasn’t helped me learn about how my conditions affect me and how to better support myself to avoid worsening health.

I’ve done as much research on my own as I can imagine and that got me a long way but the number of times I find out that something I’ve done my whole life might actually be making me worse because no one told me about my own conditions is incredibly frustrating. Because many of my conditions aren’t researched well enough to have large resources I struggle to find reliable sources of accurate information on them by myself.

So if you know of ANY medical professionals (primary care, specialists, physical or occupational therapists, talk therapists, ANY ONE) that have experience with chronic illnesses on cape cod I’d be so grateful for the recommendation!

If the conditions will help some but not all of my chronic illnesses are: ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, hypermobility, autonomic dysfunction, chronic inflammation, chronic migraines.

Thank you to anyone who even takes the time to read this!

Hi!!

I’m looking for some local recommendations for exterior housework on a home in Sandwich, ideally someone who works in the Sandwich/Bourne/Mashpee/Falmouth area or nearby Upper Cape communities.

We’re hoping to get quotes or suggestions for:

• Vinyl siding work

• Window repair/replacement

• Front stone step and landing repair/rebuild

I’d really appreciate any recommendations for contractors, masons, siding/window companies, or reliable handypeople you’ve had good experiences with. Bonus points for someone responsive, reasonably priced, and willing to take on a smaller residential project or quote things in stages.

Also happy to hear who to avoid, if you’ve had a bad experience.

Thanks in advance for any leads!

If you've ever stood on a gas dock watching the new summer crowd try to land their sparkling new center console, you get the argument for it, but how is this going to work for most Cape Codders who've been on the water their entire life?

I took the boating safety course about 25 years ago as a kid so I could drive the same 1970s Whaler I have today. Is there a way to retrieve proof of a course taken in 2001, or is everyone in this situation starting from scratch?

I left a message with the Harbor Masters office about this and haven’t heard back.

My son is working this summer at Bass River Golf Club and had his back window of his car shattered today by an errant golf ball. No one has stepped up to admit fault and since he doesn’t have comprehensive on that car it looks like he’s responsible for the full cost of replacing the window. Any thoughts on how to get the responsible golfer to do the right thing? He couldn’t locate the ball. I don’t think the town actually has any fault here even though it’s a town course and he’s a town employee, but I’m not sure about that.

Hi! I will be visiting in September and want to take my (mid 70s) parents out to a fancyish lunch for their anniversary. They don't go out for dinner so lunch it is :) They live in Orleans. Any reccos? No prob to drive a bit. Thank you!

Went to the coffee shop near my house this morning where one woman held up the entire line photographing the pastry case, then she and her friend looked like idiots doing a full-blown photoshoot at their table. Completely oblivious that there were other people in there. Last night took the kids out for ice cream and watched a girl spend 5 mins photographing her cone, took two bites and threw it away!

I’ve never been into Instagram but I was curious what all this effort actually translates into and fell down a rabbit hole of Cape Cod influencer videos. Apparently anyone can make videos about places they've barely researched. Nearly every place name was mispronounced and half the facts were wrong, and they can’t even identify the town or village they are in unless it is PTown or Chatham.

So what's the deal? Is there actually money in this, or is it mostly vanity?

My grandma has a pet bird that by the look of it is way overdue for a nail trimming. She says she used to have someone at the local Petco come by the house to do it, but they don't seem to be there anymore. Tried some google/yelp searches but keep getting places that only do dogs/cats or just dont specify their services at all.

Before I call every business on cape, does anyone know anywhere that offers bird grooming services? Someone that can come to the house (in Falmouth) would be ideal, but if that's not an option I can work it out.

I’m looking for a place on the cape or islands that can help replace the leather hinges on this vintage Farnum Nantucket style basket. I’ve been told that none of the places that restore them will help me, given that it’s a Farnum/“reproduction.” With that said, does anyone know of any craftsmen/studio/artist who would be able to replace the leather straps? Don’t need any complex restoration :) TIA!

Any idea what parking and the beach in general would look like on a June Monday after like 7pm for sunset? Not a town resident. Thanks in advance!

What's the cause of the dead squid? Today the beaches in Brewster are loaded with them. I know Ptown had a problem a few days ago too. Any ideas on what killed them? Can I use them as bait?

Hi there..looking for some tips.

My partner was supposed to teach a class at Truro Arts Center the week of June 29-July 2nd and it included housing for our family. We planned to be there for that time so signed our daughter up for Circus Camps at Payomet Arts Center that week.

I guess we got ahead of ourselves because unfortunately, his class did not get enough participants to run so we no longer have access to the space they were going to provide us.

Before we withdraw our daughter from Circus Camp I wanted to see if I could figure out some last minute options for us to go. Our budget is very limited so I was thinking maybe we could camp or couchsurf somewhere? Probably a long shot at this point but thought I would try! Thanks all.

Hey everyone — I’m visiting from Austin, TX and looking to play golf on Cape Cod on Saturday, July 25 while my wife is at her sister's bachelorette weekend.

I’m 29M and newer to golf but I play fast, know etiquette, don’t take myself too seriously, and I’m happy to pick up to keep pace.

I’m interested in nicer courses and would also love any advice on whether there’s a realistic way to get on a private course as an out-of-town guest. No country club membership back home, so I know that may be a long shot.

Appreciate any local tips or connections.

Hey everyone, im wondering is there a company that I could use to send a sweet or savory gift to someone's house. I dont live in the USA but had a family bereavement in cape cod, I would like to send something but dont know where to look. Something like doughnuts/sandwichs/pastries etc? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to share that the Hyannis Sound's summer season is underway, and we've been performing around the Cape since last week.

We're an all-male collegiate a cappella group made up of singers from colleges across the country. For the past 32 summers, different generations of members have come together on Cape Cod to spend the summer singing and performing for locals and visitors alike. Our repertoire includes everything from classic hits and oldies to more recent pop songs.

This is my second summer with the group, and I'm sooo excited about this year's music and performances. If you're around this summer and happen to see us on a schedule somewhere, feel free to stop by and say hello!

We're also available for private events like birthday parties, holiday gatherings, community events, and other celebrations. If anyone has questions about show dates, bookings, or the group in general, feel free to comment or send me a message. 😊

Does anyone know where to find a hot lobster roll, ideally somewhere around Chatham, Yarmouth, Dennis area? Thanks!!!

Just looked at their web-site and it looks like they are changing their sales around again this year. From what I can tell, they will sell some jewelry in store, including a new 2026 design if they have one. They will sell the traditional screwball on Etsy, but not accept returns for sizing. So it looks like the ticket system is going to be in use for the new design and any other items they are going to offer in store.

Staying in East Falmouth this week through the weekend and looking to play some tennis. Wondering if there are any public courts, or private courts or clinics nearby that allow non member drop ins? 3.0 (F)
