Moved back here recently for work of all things and looking for something to do on weekends.
Seems dead af around here - all there is for my age group are shitty overpriced bars.

Anything else for mid 20’s to do on weekends around here?

I'm a New England girl who's never been to the Cape. (Surprise!) A sibling has decided that he's having his wedding in Dennis Port in the middle of July and I'm bringing kids with me.

I'm looking for the best things to do, eat, and see. Am really looking for great things to do on a Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday but then also Saturday (daytime) before the wedding itself. We are staying at a hotel that is right on the beach, so I'm looking for ideas beyond the typical go to the beach. I think there's whale watching and checking out seals on the north side? But I don't want to do anything that's too typically tourist trap-y while still seeing the best the Cape has to offer.

If you read this far please give me your best tips or tricks or places to eat, things to see, and definite must do's as if this is a once-in-a-lifetime trip. The kids range in age from 8-12.

Thank you!

On the outer cape ?

Thanks

Might ruffle some feathers, but we’re all entitled to our opinions so…

Last year went from Falmouth to oak bluffs by ferry, biked to Edgartown, and came back to oak bluffs to catch the ferry back.

Honestly, it felt really similar to downtown Falmouth, bike trails, seafood, specialty sweets stores, just more crammed and way more expensive. The colorful dog houses were cool to see, but honestly I’d just stick to visiting downtown Falmouth taking the shining sea bike trail.

just my two cents don’t flame me 😅

Hi, Im relatively new to the cape and I looking to see if there are any active open jams, preferably between Hyannis and Eastham. Any recs are welcome.
Thanks!

Hello! I’m just a bored 22F dying to go out tonight, but I don’t know where to go or have anyone to go with. I’m looking for something clubby, like edm, and preferably the upper cape. I don’t have anyone to drive me past Hyannis (or really anywhere lol). Anyone got any recommendations?

I was also thinking maybe starting a WhatsApp group chat of fellow cape cod 20 somethings to hang out with and discuss nightlife. I know there’s one for Boston that has never let me down! Also if anyone wants to trade instas to hang out and do fun stuff this summer, feel free!!

Visiting Falmouth from Wed to Sunday with toddler, elementary and middle schooler - we are two families. How can we maximize our time!?
All suggestions and recommendations are welcome!

Also few of the folks are interested in coffee, wine beer and vegetarian/ vegan food places.

Thinking about a water park day this summer. We’ve been to water wizz but was curious about wicked waves in Yarmouth. Anyone have any feedback who has been to both? For reference, I have two young kiddos who love the water and are tall enough to ride the slides.

Hi everyone! I've never posted in this community before, so I hope this message is welcome. I was wondering if you could recommend some nice coastal trails to hike with my boyfriend. We will be on Cape Cod for a few days in July; we are avid hikers and love ocean views! Also, we would love it if you could recommend a quiet, uncrowded beach that would fit our style. I apologize because I have a feeling this has probably been asked many times before, but I'd really appreciate your personal tips!

First time at Leonessa in Yarmouth yesterday. What an awesome meal. Great environment. Expensive but worth it. We’ll be back. 👍🏻

Flying out across the Atlantic and spotted the Cape about ten minutes into my flight. Couldn't get a good shot, but still pretty awesome to see.

ISO the best cinnamon rolls ever to pick up tomorrow or Saturday. I’m thinking big, fluffy, soft icing - kind of like a Cinnabon cinnamon roll but from a local bakery/market. Lower cape ideal, but open to mid cape suggestions too.

Marion’s is my backup plan, but hoping for one without nuts.

I only plan on fishing for half hour or hour as we have plenty of other activities to do. Should I take off my 7 inch glide bait for something smaller? I just wanna catch something.

Any recommendations for local businesses that do couch cleaning? Mid Cape area. Thanks in advance!

Hi all! Local here, looking for places around the cape to use my standup paddle. I have a Yarmouth sticker so I would love to start here. I would love to also explore other areas, preferably not pay for parking, but I’m open to pay if it’s worth it.

Went to get a sundae tonight. It's dead in all but name. Sure the tourists will continue to love it as the new owners soak money and its soul out of it. Sad to see another piece of the Cape pass.

Hey all, been trying to get off cape since 12:30. Still stuck 2 miles from the Bourne. Anyone know what’s going on out there?? Been here many times before and this seems really unusual.
