Trying to figure out what to do on the Cape? We have you covered with the top 10 things to do on Cape Cod! From biking to mini golf, there is so much to do! Our family is from the area so we hope this helps!

[@Dan5819]

Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard are such great bike riding places.

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Totally agree! It was one of our favorite things to do

[@RYANandMICHELLEchannel]

Amazing video! I just spent a week in Cape Cod, definitely looking forward to going back again to try a few more of these things

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@kadeeeartiaga]

I love thissss!

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Thank you so much!

[@usatravel9657]

Looks like fun!

[@BrittChrisTravel]

It was great!

[@annmarieb5895]

Great video just visited Hyannis in August 2021 and three years ago. I really enjoy the area. Hyannis main street is the best I love staying there because having the port there where you have the option of visiting both Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket is a plus.

[@BrittChrisTravel]

That's awesome! We hope to go to Nantucket next time we go!

[@phansandy7668]

Thanks for sharing this video, loved that you two were having fun biking. I’ve watched other videos that have been informative & cape cod looks beautiful but yours added that extra layer of info I wanted about the trail & pricing for the boat/whale watching & parking. Thank you!!! That’s all great info to have as we plan our travels anywhere. I’m gonna check out your other videos now & just subscribed:)

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Thank you we really appreciate it! We had so much fun biking it was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you for subscribing too, it really helps our channel out!!

We stay in Brewster and there is so much to do and see all up and down the Cape. I enjoyed this video because you highlighted places we have never seen. MV is much fun. Before we had kids we would take our bikes and go to MV and Nantucket. We are going on a whale watch out of Provincetown, which is fantastic and on the very tip of the Cape. We watch the sun set every night from the beach here in Brewster. I also watched the sun come up this morning as well. You should visit the tidal flats some day they are magical! Have fun in your travels !

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Thanks for the great tips! We will have to check out the tidal flats next time we go

[@travelismytherapy7525]

Awesome video , looking on going to Cape Cod and Martha’s vineyard

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Thank you! Hopefully you found our video helpful to plan your trip if you plan to go!

[@SetApartBeauty]

Love this video! I live in Virginia, but my mom is from Falmouth and we have a summer home there. Your video showed most of my favorite places there,, especially Old Silver - my absolute favorite beach since I was a kid! Oh, and the Island Queen ferry is out of Falmouth, not Hyannis :) If you do travel back to the Cape, you should definitely add Hyannis to your places to visit as well!

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Glad you liked our video! We hope to explore more of the cape next time we go

[@allisonsmith2305]

They need to rename the video and experience the entire Cape not just one town!!

[@2104dogface]

Nice job, my family has a place in Dennis Port so safe to say i've spent alot of time on the cape. there is so much to see and do on the Cape. hope you make another trip down and see some of the other towns and hit more beaches and Restaurants

[@BrittChrisTravel]

We hope to go again eventually! The Cape has so much to do and is such an interesting place to visit.

[@2104dogface]

@@BrittChrisTravel you deff should, the week when everything is starting to close up for the off season can be alot of fun as many seasonal places will have great deals on food& drinks ($1 beers, some even free food w/ drinks) as they have to clean out everything to shut down (granted it will be what ever they have left so can't be too picky)

[@BrittChrisTravel]

@@2104dogface Thanks for the tip!

[@LadiesofPurposeTV]

@@2104dogfacewhat month do they normally start shutting down? Our anniversary is last week in September. I’d love to go to Cape Cod when things are still open though but considering going over anniversary. Thanks.

[@2104dogface]

@@LadiesofPurposeTV sept/oct is when alot of place's start to shut down , think mid oct is set for our closing of the cottage if you plan for early/mid sept you should be ok most places will have there closing dates listed as some shops/restaurants r seasonal

[@lisatucker51]

Thank you for commenting on time and cost.

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Our pleasure!

[@dsm9785]

You missed a ton of the cape, Falmouth and MV are nice, and the quick stop to the Comber. As for sunsets the bay side offers beautiful sunsets all the way around, also Orleans is one of the few places on earth where you can see the sunrise and set in the same town while connected to the mainland. (I know, they did dig the canal) Each town on the cape is unique, and they all have something to offer. Most towns offer sport fishing, and if your into antiques, there are quaint little shops everywhere. Most towns have a historical area with all sorts of shops. Every town has beautiful beaches, whether it’s the bayside, sound or outer beach. Tourism is peak in the summer months, but the spring and fall are nice to, and usually warm enough to do outdoor activities. Some of the shops and restaurants may be closed, but that’s usually because of summer help, there are plenty of year round restaurants, and plenty of country markets if you do your own cooking. Don’t expect high rise hotels or casinos, but quaint motels and bed and breakfasts. Be respectful when visiting and pick up after yourself, we do our best here to keep the cape clean, but with visitor numbers rising each year it Can be tough to keep up. Enjoy!

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Thanks for the awesome recommendations!! We totally would’ve gone, but we were visiting family and didn’t have the time. We will make sure to try those places next time we go!!

[@markisthegreat3432]

@@BrittChrisTravel yeah just travel route 6A. That's the true cape right there... cant even cut a damn tree down without a permit. Look at scargo tower and hokum rock in Dennis. And I HAVE TO recomend Fort Hill in Eastham. Historic native American area, the captain penniman house is there. (Used to have a whale jaw bone as the arch for the walkway to the house, unfortunately taken down due to punk kids vandalizing it.)Travel the boardwalk through a marshy swamp area and up to skiff rock where you can see the marks where natives sharpened their tools

[@Bethany.a224offical]

I grow up on cape cod all my life and I'm still on cape cod

[@BrittChrisTravel]

So cool!

[@seafruit.]

I live in Chatham and I hope you had a good vacation but I would recommend doing some more stuff on upper cape

[@BrittChrisTravel]

We hope to eventually! It was a far drive from where we stayed.

[@KyleDavisMusic]

Absolutely agree @Seafruit!

[@kellymcfadden7514]

You didn’t go to p town? I would have that in the list for sure! I love the beachcomber!

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Unfortunately we ran out of time to go there but if we did it would have made the list.

[@kellymcfadden7514]

@@BrittChrisTravel Oh! Maybe another time? I love the cape! Went every summer since I was a baby! Not as often now that I am grown. But still love it! It is like heaven on earth to me!

@@kellymcfadden7514 Yes we will probably go back since I have family there! It is such an amazing place

Thanks!

[@vibebear4113]

You should try pirates cove in Yarmouth and the cape cod rail trail

[@BrittChrisTravel]

We will try to visit those next time we go!

[@haidiandalwang8685]

how many days would you say is good to spend at cape cod? We have about 5-6 days, would that cover the highlights?

[@BrittChrisTravel]

It really depends on how much of the cape you want to see! 5-6 days is a good amount and you should be able to explore the whole cape. Have a great trip!

[@captaina9155]

ON Cape Cod

[@BrittChrisTravel]

That's awesome!

[@katienelson2087]

Nooooo you say ON not IN 😂

People alowed to Swim in trunker beach?

[@colincurley9751]

Wow you missed a lot, Martha's vineyard is its own place that deserves its own top 10 list not in cape cods. You basically only stayed in falmouth and that end of cape that's fine by me though being from outer cape.

[@BrittChrisTravel]

We wish we could have done the whole cape, since we were visiting family we wanted to spend time with them rather than driving around the whole cape. Evenly we will go to the upper cape!

[@emailused6404]

Winter is these beaches open to public to walk

[@karinnamarie2131]

Yes!

[@deet7683]

How is Cape Cod in January?

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Personally, I don't know but I am sure its very cold and they get snow. It's probably better to visit in summer or spring!

[@deet7683]

@@BrittChrisTravel That’s what I was thinking too. Thanks for the response.

[@karinnamarie2131]

Hi! Grew up on the Cape! January is very cold, and definitely not the best time to visit. June/July/August/September are my favorite months. Absolutely Gorgeous in the fall here as well, if you are not looking to have beach days because it gets chilly quickly!

Thanks! We are not from there so we were not sure how to say it lol

Great video but you should not have called it top 10 things to do.. you must have stayed near Falmouth area. There are sooo many great places to go on the Cape. These are 10!Things to do on Cape Cod

[@hunter6719]

Ka tom it

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Thanks!

[@brendadrew834]

I've lived and summered on the Cape most of my 74 years , but please it's "ON the Cape", not "In the Cape"! Also, it's not a peninsula anymore, hasn't been ever since the put the Cape Cod Canal in, in 1912! So, technically it's an island surrounded by water on four sides, the Cape Cod Bay, the great Atlantic ocean, Nantucket Sound and the Cape Cod Canal! Have fun and drive safely, the roads here are the same ones they had in the 1800s only paved over! This is not the Indianapolis 500! Parts of the highways are called "Suicide Alley" because so many have been killed here thinking this is the 500! And please no littering, help keep "America, the Beautiful", beautiful! Thanks~♥♥🏖

[@BrittChrisTravel]

We love the Cape too! It must have been nice to summer there for 74 years, i'm sure it has changed a lot since then!

[@raaid85]

america is beautiful but its a belligenrent violent empire

[@tenofivelips]

Hahaha, always on the Cape, never in it.

[@paulsmith9868]

Kind of superficial. Focus is mainly on beaches and places to eat or spend your money. There are a good collection of light houses and historical sites that were missed.

[@BrittChrisTravel]

The cape is so big that it’s hard to see everything. We ran out of time since we were visiting family while there!

[@dutchdoes1939]

This is why it’s so packed here in the summer… 26k views for anyone wanting to come here for the first time just don’t. This place has nothing fun to do unless your rich. And everywhere to eat is overpriced don’t get me started with gas prices here. The best places to visit are the rest of Massachusetts and ignore cape cod your welcome

[@BrittChrisTravel]

I would disagree with you. You do not need to be rich to enjoy the Cape. There are many great restaurants to pick from that are not very expensive, and some of the things listed in our video are free!

[@BN1960]

Really? No Nantucket? It's so much better than Marthas Vineyard which is just touristy and anodine What about all the seafood and chowder shacks, what about Provincetown with its multi cultural vibe, what about Plymouth and Plymouth Rock You've missed so much

[@paripatel194]

You can literally do any of this in any other different state

[@BrittChrisTravel]

That's awesome, but not so sure you can see whales in Nebraska lol

This list is trash, the shining sea bike path is great but you could have included , woods hole and the beach in one slide, and the put Provincetown on here which is a place that shouldn’t be left off when going to cape cod

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Thanks for the feedback! If you watched our video Woods Hole is number 5. We plan to go to Provincetown in the future, but it was too far of a drive from Falmouth and we did not want to take another ferry.

[@kentkearney6623]

Check out the urine that the town without waste management sends to the bay. Don't swim in the towns doodoo.

[@Joseph-wy2mq]

You spent the first three and a half minutes on the least appealing part of the Cape. imo, mid-Cape and Outer Cape are best, particularly Brewster, Chatham and P-Town. btw, it's ON the Cape, not IN the Cape.

[@BrittChrisTravel]

Yea we had limited time there! Thanks for sharing!
