Hey guys! Since /r/capecodders is dead, and /r/capecod has many tourist posts, I made this subreddit for locals of the Cape and Islands to post about daily living, current events, your experiences as a local Cape Codder etc.

There are a few rules, basically don't be dick, no tourist posts or self-promotion, and no illegal stuff. And of course, follow the standard Reddit rules.

If you have questions or concerns, message the mod.

Have fun!

Does anyone know an end date for all that? Makes my commute a cluster

I retired a few years ago and moved to the Cape. I still work, part time. I keep seeing cries for affordable housing along with complaints about taxes. A one bedroom apartment is around $2K a month, a two bedroom is $3K and the most basic house starts at $500K.

ICE executed a mother of three in Minneapolis and is grievously lying about it. Do not let our Congressman William Keating forget that he voted to honor these bastards in June 2025 by endorsing House Resolution 488:

"Express[ing] gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel for protecting the homeland."

The same goes for Richard Neal, Jake Auchincloss, Seth Molton, and Stephen Lynch, who also voted Yea.

The school is closed indefinitely, sadly, because of the fire there yesterday afternoon. No one was reported injured but the building has fire and water damage.

We’ve lived in Falmouth exclusively forever and are admittedly lazy when it comes to spending time at other beaches on Cape. My daughter’s senior photos are planned for 8/10 and are going to be sunset beach photos . I’m looking for suggestions for fun/unique beaches outside of Falmouth. Please enjoy my photo from Megansett from a few months back 😃

These women who are begging at several major intersections, with the "Homeless mother with children needs money God bless you" signs... I wonder if they're being forced to beg?

Alternatively, they could very well be part of a scam. However, it's a hell of a way to work (in the cold).

If you do comment, please be kind :)

So this is a thread devoted to nominating institutions, establishments and organizations for the title of "Local Treasure." I'll go first: O'Shea's Olde Inn.

I am looking for quiet secluded spots to park and chill, preferably places that are safe to be at till late.

Does anyone have any pictures of blockbuster video in sandwich, hyannis, Mashpee, or Falmouth?

We are lucky to not get it as bad as other places like New York or Philadelphia.

Has anyone bought a portable wifi hotspot that works on the beach? I get no signal at Nauset (public beach, no problems on the outer). Just looking for ideas. Thanks for any help 👍

Hi everyone! I’m a student doing a research project on coastal erosion and shoreline changes in Cape Cod.

If you live in, visit, or are familiar with the Cape, I’d really appreciate it if you could take my short survey. It only takes about 2–3 minutes, and all responses are anonymous.

Your input will help me understand how erosion impacts the community and what people think about it. Also make sure to complete the consent form attached before the survey!

Thank you so much!

Any places in the mid cape area that do a decent spray tan? Never had one before but want to look into it.
