Cape Cod Vacation Tips

It doesn’t matter if you’re a worrier or if you like going with the flow; even a little preparation can go a long way. Outlining your vacation will give you a vague sense of purpose; that way you’ll be able to coordinate travel plans. You’ll be giving yourself more time to hit the various towns, beaches, and amusements around the area.

Travelling By Air

Unless you’re flying to smaller municipal Barnstable, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, and Provincetown, your best bet for airplane travel would be landing in Boston’s Logan International Airport or Providence’s T.F. Green International Airport. Both cities are a little less than an hour and a half drive away. But regardless of whether you rent a car from the airport or you decide to take a road trip, rest assured that the Cape’s beautiful scenery is essentially unavoidable in your travels!

Travelling By Sea

Of course, you could always take a ferry from Boston down to the Cape. There are multiple ferry cruises to bring you down the Massachusetts shore, soaking up all the great sites of the New England state which will take your breath away at any time of the year.

Don’t Forget The Essentials!

Regardless of what season it is, the cape can get pretty chilly. Make sure to bring a light jacket or some sweatshirts for the cool periods of the day. Bring some active wear as well; the Cape is a great place to go for bike rides, runs, walks, and all other sorts of outdoor activity!

Where to Stay

The biggest Cape Cod vacation tip we can provide for you is that you must be smart about where you stay during your vacation. A Cape Cod timeshare resale or rental could save you thousands of dollars compared to a hotel room, which features constantly fluctuating prices and aren’t always guaranteed availability. With a Cape Cod timeshare, you’ll have a place to return to annually for a great vacation, whether you’re out with your family for summer break or you’d like a romantic rendezvous in a quaint beach town.
