Sarah (and Tim's) favorite ice cream place! During COVID, we went multiple times per week. Try the raspberry chip yogurt or anything with caramel/peanut butter, our favorites.
A beautiful beach (and arguably the most famous) in Dennis! Note that parking often fills up before 9, so plan accordingly (uber, walking, early rise).
Down the street from Sarah's parents' and the Dennis Inn - a McDonald family favorite! Note that parking here also fills up quickly. Sarah is a fan of the snack bar.
Excellent lobster rolls and beautiful view of Sesuit Harbor. BYOB!
The best breakfast spot - the line is worth it!
Excellent breakfast sandwiches!
Good food, good drinks - near the inn and frequently can spot Tim and Sarah here in the summer (and after the wedding!)
Fun fact: Sarah went to camp here for several summers! Fantastic museum and beautiful walking trails.
Stretches over 25 miles from Yarmouth to Wellfleet - flat and paved with good snack spots along the way, no need to be an expert bike rider. Rentals available.
Near the inn - only about an hour to go through - cut through the parking lot and head over to Encore or Harvest for a drink/appetizer!
A classic Cape Cod bar - stop in during the day for a cup of clam chowder and walk around downtown Chatham. Late night, expect a rowdier atmosphere.
Two towns each about 20/25 minutes from Dennis with cute little downtown areas to explore. Chatham is quintessential Cape Cod; Hyannis has more "trendy" restaurants
The liveliest of the bars on the page, with a wide age range of patrons. Cash only with an ATM onsite. Dive bar.
For those extending their stay, check out Cahoon Hollow beach for stunning views and an amazing dunescape on the cape cod national seashore. The Beachcomber is a staple for drinks and fun! Approximately 45 minutes from Dennis.
If you're extending your stay, the drive-in is a childhood classic.
