Whether you're dreaming of a long weekend or planning your summer vacation, now is the time to start exploring all the Cape has to offer this spring.
Top Things to Do on Cape Cod in the Spring
1. Visit the Cape Cod National Seashore
Stretching from Eastham to Provincetown, the Cape Cod National Seashore is a must-see. Explore nature trails like Fort Hill or The Red Maple Swamp Trail, take in panoramic views at Marconi Beach, or simply enjoy a quiet walk along the shore.
2. Explore the Rail Trail from Dennis to Wellfleet
Spring is ideal for biking, and the Cape Cod Rail Trail is one of the best ways to explore. Ride through the charming towns of Orleans, Eastham, and Wellfleet, stopping for snacks or shopping along the way.
3. Enjoy Seafood in Wellfleet or Chatham
Head to Mac's Shack in Wellfleet for oysters, or try the famous Chatham Pier Fish Market for fresh lobster rolls with a view of the fishing boats. Many waterfront restaurants begin to open for outdoor dining in spring.
4. Stroll the Streets of Provincetown
With its vibrant art scene and walkable downtown, Provincetown is perfect for a spring day trip. Explore the galleries on Commercial Street, climb the Pilgrim Monument, or walk along the breakwater for stunning ocean views.
5. Stop by Local Favorites Like Coonamessett Farm and Sandwich Glass Museum
In Falmouth, Coonamessett Farm reopens in spring with animals, produce, and fresh food. Over in Sandwich, visit the Sandwich Glass Museum to learn about the town’s history and pick up a unique handmade gift.
6. Whale Watching in Barnstable or Provincetown
Spring marks the return of the whales! Book a tour with Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises in Barnstable or Dolphin Fleet in Provincetown for a chance to see humpbacks, fin whales, and dolphins migrating through Cape waters.
