Our wedding is located on Cape Cod. The Cape is one of our favorite places in the world and features so many fantastic beaches, antique shops, restaurants, etc. We've included some great spots below to check out in and around our venue.

If you plan to visit any of the beaches on the Cape, you will most likely need a beach sticker. You will be able to purchase here:

Harwich boasts a beautiful shoreline facing the Nantucket Sound, and Bank Street Beach is one of the prettiest. Locals love the softness of the sand and the exquisite views of Nantucket across the water. This beach is great for swimming, sunbathing, walking—there’s even fishing nearby off the Wychmere Harbor jetty.

It’s hard to explain the beauty of this beach. You have to see it for yourself. Located just 1.2 miles from The Old Harbor Inn, this ever-changing barrier beach system should be on your bucket list. New inlets, shoals, and sandbars can form almost overnight, attracting swimmers, kayakers, and kite sailors. This beautiful expanse of sand offers nature walks out to Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge, plus views of the daily migration routes of Chatham’s many seals and fishing boats. Bring binoculars to increase your view for some amazing bird and seal watching. Lastly, the Chatham Lighthouse beach is the best place to spot a sunrise and get a good stretch during beach yoga. The Chatham Lighthouse is a free beach; however, the parking is limited to 30 minutes. Public parking on Chatham Main Street offers a beach shuttle for a fee.

The Beachcomber is our favorite place on the Cape! We have so many amazing memories here: fun times, great food, live bands, awesome merch! It is a little far from our venue, but we think it is so worth it:

A little slice of seaside heaven nestled in the dunes of Cahoon Hollow Beach, also a favorite beach of ours, the Wellfleet Beachcomber continues to receive accolades year after year. Among other awards, we’ve been voted “One of the Best Seaside Dining Spots in New England” by Yankee Magazine, “Best Raw Bar, Best Outdoor Dining, Best Specialty Cocktail and Best Entertainment” in the Cape Cod Life Readers’ Polls, “Best Bar on the Cape & Islands” by Boston Magazine, one of the “Best Bars in America” by Esquire and ranked #10 of the Travel Channel’s “Twenty-One Sexiest Beach Bars in the World.”

One of our go-to beaches on the Cape. Again, a bit further away from our venue, but worth it!

Marconi Beach has a unique feel among the beaches of the national seashore. The area offers wild pristine nature in all directions. The coastal bluff that runs the backside of Cape Cod is around 50 feet in height here, and a stairway leads down to the sandy beach.

Marconi Beach is popular for swimming and surfing, and its large parking lot provides access for beachgoers. Once on the beach, it is possible to walk for miles in either direction (be sure to check area tides), getting away from crowds and finding a sense of solitude.

Stop in downtown Chatham, where upscale boutiques, art galleries, antique stores, and fine dining establishments stretch for a mile along Main Street. The Atwood Museum, the Mayo House, and the Chatham Railroad Museum give visitors a taste of Cape Cod's history. If you get hungry while browsing Main Street, head to one of downtown Chatham's top-rated restaurants, such as sushi joint Bluefins or seafood spot Del Mar Bar & Bistro. There are also more casual restaurants, cafes and ice cream shops. The Chatham Pier Fish Market is worth a stop if you want to pick up the fresh catch of the day to cook at home later. There are also a few nightlife spots here, including The Squire, which is a favorite among locals and visitors.

We love this trail...well, Lia does, hahaha; Paul wasn't so sure after riding 21 miles! 🤣 Bicycle and rollerblade rentals are also available at bike shops conveniently located along the trail in Dennis, Brewster, Orleans, and Wellfleet.

Cyclists can follow the route of the old Cape Cod Railroad through six mid- to lower-Cape towns. The trail runs from South Yarmouth into Dennis, then winds through Harwich, Brewster (with a detour through Nickerson State Park), Orleans (through the beautiful Rock Harbor area), along a salt marsh to the Cape Cod National Seashore Center in Eastham and then to Le Count Hollow in Wellfleet. Several hotels, restaurants and attractions have Trail access. The name stems from the old railroad right of way it follows, which used to transport passengers and freight to Cape Cod in the early 1800s until around 1960. The route passes by many local points of interest and several lakes suitable for swimming and picnics, including Nickerson State Park in Brewster. Continuously monitored by local police bike patrols, the Cape Cod Rail Trail is a safe and enjoyable way to spend a Cape Cod summer day. There are parking areas at different starting points, with the main trailhead in South Dennis, just minutes from Route 6 on Route 134.

This link has even more bike paths to look into:

Sunbird is an awesome breakfast spot that we both love to hit up whenever we are on the Cape. We highly recommend checking it out. The wait can be long, but it is so worth it, and you can grab takeout and head to one of our favorite beaches mentioned above 😘.
