How to Experience Cape Cod Like a Local, With Charming Boutique Hotels, Fresh Seafood, and Stunning Ocean Views
Explore an idyllic stretch of Atlantic Ocean shoreline at the Cape Cod National Seashore via dune trails and meandering bike paths. You'll find everything from afternoon summer dance parties to high-fashion sneaker retailers and quaint coffee shops on Provincetown's Commercial Street, a beloved LGBTQ+ vacation spot that welcomes all. Dance away the summer nights at The Beachcomber, a ramshackle restaurant and live music venue perched atop the dunes of Wellfleet. You'll feel like a sea captain from the days of yore at the Candleberry Inn, a classic New England bed-and-breakfast steps from Cape Cod Bay. Lobster rolls may be the unofficial dish of New England, but Ceraldi has quickly become the most-coveted reservation on the Cape. This geographic flexed arm jutting from the Massachusetts mainland is more than just a quirky shape on the map—it's also a den of coastal charm and salty heritage. Cape Cod's sandy stretch of dunes and kettle ponds has long laid out its welcome mat for those in need of refuge and respite, from the early days of the Mayflower's 'saints and strangers,' who anchored in Provincetown Harbor, to generations of native Cape Codders and 'washashores' (the term locals use for people are not from the area). The spit's relative isolation has helped preserve both its bohemian enclaves, like Provincetown and Wellfleet, as well as its statelier corners, such as Osterville, Hyannis Port, and Chatham. But the Cape is evolving. A wave of new full-time residents, drawn by remote work and a post-pandemic lifestyle shift, has sparked a transformation. 'The cape isn't a little sleepy resort town anymore. It's really a thriving mecca for year-round living,' said Marc Sievers, a cookbook author and owner of Fête Among the Flowers in Osterville. 'It really is starting to become a destination that people are seeing as more than just a quick weekend.' Whether you're chasing sunsets or getting lost in a hydrangea-lined village, let the good times of Cape Cod butter up your lobster roll. Here's what you need to know before planning a trip to Cape Cod. A guest suite with a living room at the Bluebird Dennisport. Longtime Cape luxury mainstay Chatham Bars Inn is home to the pinnacle of summer socializing, where oysters and rosé at The Veranda can cap a day of reading from a private beach cabana overlooking Aunt Lydia's Cove. The ultimate splurge is a spa suite with a private steam shower and hydrotherapy tub. Wequassett Resort and Golf Club encompasses acres of hydrangea-filled gardens, and there are plenty of ways to pass a summer day, here—from kayaking to clandestine cocktails. Wequasset's guest rooms, villas, and cottages recently underwent a renovation that was completed just in time for the resort's 2025 centennial celebration. 'When people think 'luxury' on the Cape, it's probably the number one,' said Gayle Fee, a longtime Cape Codder and New England's doyenne of dish, who cowrote the Boston Herald 's Inside Track gossip column for 25 years. There's no better spot to catch sunset than at Awol Provincetown, located in the far West End overlooking the moors. Guest rooms and suites at this motel-turned-glam-retreat have a chic, minimalist vibe that carries outside to the fire pits and pool area, where neighbors for the week toast with cocktails from the guest-only bar. This Brewster bed-and-breakfast was named one of the best hotels in the world by Travel + Leisure readers in 2024. You'll feel like a posh sea captain at this Georgian-style home that's just a short stroll from Cape Cod Bay beaches. Breakfast is a decadent spread, but you'll also find thoughtful touches like a personalized package of goodies awaiting you in the dining room each afternoon after a day of exploring. Lark Hotels (the same parent company behind AWOL Provincetown) converted this former motor lodge into a contemporary, beach-y retreat that gives guests a chic, wood-paneled place to rest amid a summer sojourn to the Cape without all the bells and whistles—and exorbitant peak nightly rates—of some of the area's more established luxury offerings. Aerial view of a person walking along the Cape Cod National Seashore. Violetta Smirnova/Travel + Leisure This stretch of beaches, ponds, and wooded trails running from Chatham to Provincetown was established by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 and has some of the region's most popular sandy stretches, like Ptown's Race Point Beach and Nauset Beach in Orleans. 'The Province Lands, part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, are my favorite escape,' said Ken Fulk, an interior designer who splits his time between San Francisco and Provincetown. 'Here you'll find miles of bike trails, tidal pools in which you can float along like a lazy river, and vast stretches of often empty beaches—and don't miss the chance to hike across the immense dunes out to the great Atlantic.' The Cape's iconic hydrangeas are only a small piece of this 100-acre property, celebrating the rhododendrons initially hybridized by Charles Dexter, who experimented and produced hundreds of thousands of the flower varieties that still bloom on the property today. Flowers may be the main show, but the Heritage Museum & Gardens also has a vintage car collection and a working vintage carousel. The cross-bay rivals of Plymouth and Provincetown lovingly spar over who has a better claim as the Pilgrims' initial arrival destination. Visitors will find something a bit more impressive at the nearly 253-foot granite Pilgrim Monument that lords over Provincetown. It was built in the early 20th century to honor the Pilgrims' five-week stint on the Outer Cape, and it's a good alternative to the (rather infamously) underwhelming Plymouth Rock. Plus, you can climb to the top and take in sweeping bayside and Atlantic Ocean views. This Dennis, Massachusetts, stage can feel like Broadway's summer camp, given that everyone from Bernadette Peters and Julie Andrews to Humphrey Bogart and Henry Fonda has performed here since its 1927 inception. Today, you can expect to find locally orchestrated productions of hits like 'Rent' and 'Waitress.' Deciding which Cape Cod beach is the best for taking in a sunset with a sip of something fabulous can feel like picking a favorite child. But the expansive tidal flats and seclusion of Chapin Memorial Beach can feel truly otherworldly. 'If you can catch low tide at sunset, your head will explode,' said Adam Dunn, who co-owns The Pheasant restaurant in Dennis with his wife. 'There's this jaw-dropping view out there.' A woman leaving a store with shopping bags. Sure, there are shops hawking Cape Cod-emblazoned t-shirts and merchandise throughout the entire peninsula, but Cuffy's is a local institution that now has a boardwalk-themed flagship packed with all the swag needed to outfit you, your family, and any friend back home that needs a thank-you gift for checking your mail. Those looking for a little Cape design inspiration will find just the right home accents at this Osterville specialty food and floral shop that also sells throws, candles, and other small goods. It's the perfect place to find that treat-yourself splurge. Whether you're looking for a Tiffany lamp or a framed final menu from the Queen Mary, odds are you'll find it (and a slew of other vintage treasures) at this 5,000-square-foot emporium of eccentric finds. You may also need to pick up a vintage suitcase to cart your goods back home. It's hard to pick a specific gallery, boutique, or coffee shop to visit on Commercial Street, but we'll try. 'A few of my favorite shops include The Captain's Daughters for the perfect t-shirt, Clove and Creek for the best gifts, and the hidden John Derian shop tucked in an impossibly charming shed behind his house—you'll want everything,' Fulk said. Other locals in the know always swing by for beach provisions at Pop+Dutch, the town's go-to spot for sandwiches and sass. You'll find dinner party staples at Perry's Fine Wine & Liquors, an it's-an-insult-to-just-call-it-a-wine-shop kind of establishment hawking everything from hard-to-procure champagne and caviar to charcuterie and dips (plus, there are complimentary treats for the many four-legged visitors that come to town). A busy evening in erosion means you never quite know what the parking lot is going to look like each Memorial Day opening weekend at the Wellfleet Beachcomber, but the good times are always the same. Imbibing with a rum-forward Goombay Smash to the sounds of a local rock band performance is practically a rite of passage for a Cape Codder's summer Saturday night. 'I must have been a teenager when they first opened it, and they've been pumping out dance music and oysters ever since,' Fee said. The Atlantic House, or the A-House, has been Ptown's most iconic watering hole for more than 200 years—and has one of the best-known LGBTQ+ dance floors for a good chunk of that span. The drinks are strong, and the ceilings are low (not to mention the lopsided dance floor). But the line snaking down an alley and up the main road is an indicator that this is the place to spend a raucous night all year long. Dining room inside The Pheasant. The seven-course tasting menu at Ceraldi is a celebration of locally sourced ingredients and staples from the sea with an Italian twist (think: beef shank with Cape Cod blueberries and polenta arriving after a lobster risotto course). Maintain a hawk eye on availability, as an open seat at this Wellfleet chef's table doesn't come around often. An extra plate of meatballs or platter of cauliflower Caesar salad always seems to appear while diners debate who has the best entrée (chicken carbonara or lobster alla vodka, anyone?) en route at this candlelit Italian treasure in Ptown's West End. 'It's the clubhouse for the town's luminaries and washashores alike,' Fulk said. Fried seafood baskets have long been Cape menu staples, but the arrival of The Pheasant in Dennis played a major role in elevating the reputation of the local dining scene. Caviar service can kick things off before indulgences like lamb osso bucco and blood orange cheesecake. 'It's this fabulous old structure with plank floors, shiplap walls, and old oil paintings, but then they have an absolutely killer wine list and an absolutely over-the-top, creative but still earthy menu,' said Sievers. Obviously, one can't go to Cape Cod without splurging on at least some fried seafood. Sesuit Harbor Café serves heaping piles of fried whole belly clams, shrimp, scallops, and oysters (plus lobster rolls, of course) with waterfront views from picnic tables. Plus, it's BYOB. 'We'll bring a tablecloth, glassware, wine, and make it a thing,' said Erica Dunn, who's married to Adam Dunn, and co-owns The Pheasant with him. Picking a favorite ice cream shop on the Cape is as heated a debate as anything you'll find on Capitol Hill. Sundae School offers all the classics (don't miss the ice cream pies or the oh-so-popular banana splits) at locations in both Harwich Port and Dennisport. A coastal walkway on Cape Cod. Violetta Smirnova/Travel + Leisure The summer season runs between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends and is best for those who want the convenience of more frequent ferry service from Boston or airline service into Cape Cod Gateway Airport (HYA) in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Some seasonal restaurants and shops do not stay open outside this timeframe, but the shoulder season from Labor Day through Halloween is an increasingly popular time to visit. Most retailers and restaurants remain open, hotel and Airbnb rates are lower, and sunny beach days are still possible. Driving to Cape Cod over its two main access points (the Bourne and Sagamore bridges) and the ensuing summer activity is part of the 'charm' and easily the most popular way to get to vacation. But 90-minute ferries from Boston—which has the nearest major airport, Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)—are an easy way to eclipse the Outer Cape traffic. Cape Cod Gateway Airport in Hyannis has seasonal service on select major U.S. carriers, plus year-round Cape Air service. The Hyannis Transportation Center has weekend rail service to Boston in the summers and year-round bus connections. Boats docked near a neighborhood in Cape Cod. Violetta Smirnova/Travel + Leisure The Cape's longtime haven for the bohemian, the eclectic, and the LGBTQ+ community has also become one of its toniest—while still maintaining the charm that draws people in the first place. 'Provincetown is as close as I ever feel to being a kid again,' Fulk said. 'We ride bikes recklessly down the narrow street, jump with abandon into the chilly harbor, then nap like a baby curled up with wet dogs. Could there be more joy?' This lace-curtained enclave of the posh and fabulous also has boutiques for fashionable post-beach dinner garb and housewares as well as jaw-dropping waterfront real estate for those looking to really splurge on a summertime home. This artist community beckons those looking for galleries to peruse, waterfront cocktails, and even a round of nine-hole golf with a waterfront view. Dennis is a beach lover's dream, and it has ample spots to dip your toes in the sand on both the Cape Cod Bay side (just mind the occasional oyster farm) as well as the Nantucket Sound side. The Cape's transportation nexus, Hyannis, is also the last stop for big-box shopping if you're heading onward to the Outer Cape. Hyannis Main Street has a mix of souvenir shopping and fun bars and restaurants, while neighboring Hyannis Port is where the Kennedy clan's compound served as a major backdrop to Camelot. One of Cape Cod's largest communities, Falmouth is a major connecting point for those looking to hop on a ferry to explore Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket. Hyannis ferry near the Lewis Bay on what part of Cape Cod you're heading to, you can reach it by land, by sea or by air. Ferry: 90-minute fast ferries are a convenient way to get from downtown Boston to Provincetown. They typically run during the summer or shoulder seasons with Boston Harbor City Cruises and Bay State Cruise Company. Round-trip services are $100 with Boston Harbor City Cruises, while Bay State service is $128. 90-minute fast ferries are a convenient way to get from downtown Boston to Provincetown.

7 Hidden Benefits of Summer Camp for Both Kids and Parents
The school year is just about ending, if not over for most families. That means summer camp is starting. For many families, including my own, camp will begin just a few days after the last day of school. It seems like just yesterday it was the last day of camp, when we went home sunburnt, tired, and ready for a two-week-long nap—and then, school started again. But the six-hour days of games, adventure, and fun, and equally important, community building, enrichment, and socializing are now on the horizon once again. My family and I are ready: backpacks stuffed with bathing suits, swim goggles, swim shoes, towels, tubes of sunblock, water bottles, and many other must-haves. I am a camp parent, and I work at my children's camp. There are so many hidden benefits of summer camp for both parents and kids. For more than 70 years, the JCC Camps in Medford, where my children attend, have served families in Southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia area. Camps like the JCC are in demand, and day camps make up over 5,600 camps in America. However, that number is even greater when adding year-round camps. Data shows camps welcomed 26 million campers in 2024, as per the American Camp Association, a national organization that serves more than 15,000 year-round and summer camps in the U.S. Organized camp in America goes back to 1861, starting with the Gunnery Camp in Connecticut. Clearly, going to camp, either during the summer or all year, is a part of the American identity. Much of the popularity of summer camp comes from the experiences kids have, the bonds they make, and the new skills they learn over the summer. Here are just some of the benefits for kids. While the everyday amenities at summer camps are vital for campers' experiences, programs have been developed for children and teens of various ages that focus on a range of activities and learning. According to the American Camp Association, camps have been adding programs to their line-up of offerings. The top three types of programs include adventure programs that include challenge courses, zip lines, backpacking, mountain biking, etc., and then: family camps, new nature programs, gardening, cooking, wellness/fitness, and STEM programs. Camps give kids the opportunity to try something new that they might not have the time or resources to do during the busy school year. Learning new things and interacting with peers offers growth for both campers and staff. To be even more specific, the American Camp Association divides these benefits into four developmental categories: Positive Identity, Social Skills, Physical & Thinking Skills, and Positive Values & Spirituality For example, developing social skills builds leadership, friendship, social comfort, and peer relationship skills. This summer camp season, I am a supervisor where I oversee counselors who manage groups or 'bunks' of around ten campers each. I witness firsthand how campers and counselors grow in all of the areas listed above—so much so, I base my evaluations on a similar criterion. Camp is also a microcosm of our real world. The skills campers and counselors employ every day at camp, like problem management or 'peer relationship skills,' are the exact same skills our schools and workforces are requiring for students and future employees. In some cases, camp is an opportunity to experience and develop spiritual and cultural values. At the JCC Camps in Medford, we also connect spiritually and culturally with Jewish values. While any camp will always focus on growth, development, and community building, the JCC Camps also celebrate Jewish life, traditions, like Shabbat. Campers do not have to be Jewish to attend, but Jewish culture is tethered to the camp experience. My children, who are Jewish by heritage but are not practicing, have learned so much about our roots through camp, from singing the HaMotzi (blessing over bread), eating challah during Shabbat, and exploring new themes each week of the summer through games, stories, arts and crafts, cooking, theater, and music. More importantly, though, camp values, regardless of religion, can likely be found at every camp: a sense of togetherness, self-growth, and learning a variety of skills needed in all aspects of life. Whether you send your kids off to camp for the day, week, or the whole summer—or, like me, work at camp—there are several benefits for parents of campers, too. When children begin their summer break, parents can be both elated and stressed. Every day care for our children, depending on parents' work schedules, can be an obstacle that many parents struggle to manage. Camp can give parents a needed break, whether it's a day camp or a sleepaway camp. If the pandemic taught parents one thing, it was that occupying our children with activities, attention, and learning while also working our jobs is no easy task. Families send their children to camp for lots of reasons, one being child care. As the cost-of-living increases, many two-working-parent households still have demanding jobs, like my sister and brother-in-law, who are attorneys and cannot simply 'keep their kids at home.' In my experience as a camp employee, many staff are full-time teachers or work in school-related professions, like school nurses. Working at a summer camp is the perfect commitment because, like the campers, our schedules are aligned: we end school, and then we start camp together. Working at camp has allowed me not only to provide financially for my family, but also to support my children while they have, quite frankly, the best days of their summer. In college, I worked at the JCC Camps in Medford and ultimately became a better teacher because of my time there. Fast forward, now as a teacher and parent, I am unburdened by summer employment and summer childcare anxiety. Rather than having to save for summer expenses or teaching various classes and sending our children to summer daycare, my wife and I realized that a camp dad has been one of the best decisions we've made as parents. We have found a way to do both: Dad works at camp with us; Dad drives us to camp; Dad checks in on us at camp. Dad takes us home from camp. We get to spend every day with Dad. I balance the responsibilities equally, supervisor and a dad. This means I get to experience all of their experiences with them. Sometimes, I'm right next to them, or sometimes watching from a distance. I love seeing my children swimming in the pool, their swim caps bobbing in and out of the water, seeing them play kickball on an open field, the whack of the ball against their foot and the cheers of their team while lapping bases, seeing my children at lunch, passing food around the table (Bourekas), smiling and socializing, seeing my children be kids and make memories. Being a man and a father at camp has increased my ability to support and engage with campers. Men and dads are understaffed in camp settings and in the majority of child care environments, including schools, where men make up 3% of teachers. Being a camp dad or just a young man is instrumental in shaping children for the future, being role models for boys and girls alike. When I'm at camp and kneeling in the dirt eye to eye with a camper that needs support, when I'm trying to comfort them, using my toolbox of thinking skills and positive values, I recognize that this is important work, regardless of whether the camper is my child or yours. In those mornings after I drop my kids off at their bunk, I settle under a large wooden pavilion, and campers mosey in from the bus yard, giant backpacks like turtle shells dangling off their shoulders, marching in like ants. They shout over each other—a madness of chatter that I can't comprehend, just clusters of kids excited to see each other. I walk around camp, checking on counselors, their bunks, and kids and staff. I see my children, and I know that there is a happiness here that people can't fully appreciate unless they've experienced it, if they've been a 'camp kid' or have had their camp kid come home defeated in pure joy. What I arrive at as a camp dad is that after those eight weeks of summer camp, I hope that my children are filled with a security that their dad will always be there for them—that maybe they'll walk through the rest of their lives with that comfort, and they'll remember their summers—this camp, those days with memories tied to a forever-happiness, tied to me, tied to the love of their dad. When we're in the car driving home after a long day, I notice how sweaty and even a little smelly they are, with their hair still damp from the pool or the sun. They're dirty, with grass and dirt wedged under their nails, and their tongues are stained blue from ice pops. They can barely keep their eyes open as the cool breeze of a summer evening flows through the car. We sit in a comfortable silence, listening to the katydids singing as they carry us home. In that moment, I know in my heart, my bones, and my gut that whatever they did that day at camp was the best day ever. Read the original article on Parents

BP overhauling TA's marketing department
This story was originally published on C-Store Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily C-Store Dive newsletter. BP is making changes to TravelCenters of America's marketing department that will result in layoffs through the rest of 2025, a company spokesperson confirmed to C-Store Dive. The changes are part of BP's ongoing strategy reset, which launched earlier this year to improve the company's performance, drive cash flow and increase shareholder value, the spokesperson said. They did not share how many team members are expected to be impacted. This comes about five months after BP revealed plans to cut about 5% of its global workforce by 2026. At the time, a BP spokesperson declined to share specifics on the company divisions and regions impacted by the layoffs.. In a memo sent to BP's employees back in January, CEO Murray Auchincloss said the 5% workforce reduction aimed to help the oil giant position itself as a 'simpler, more focused' company. That still appears to be the case with the latest changes at TA, as a source familiar with the matter said the latest moves aim to unify all marketing functions under the BP umbrella. This source added that some employees from TA's marketing team remain with the company, but they're now employed by BP instead of TA. In a statement to C-Store Dive, BP's spokesperson said the company is overhauling its marketing functions to help its businesses and brands be more successful and improve connections with customers. 'In February 2025 we proposed changes to our marketing organization and how we work, and as a result, this will impact roles across our marketing teams through 2025, including in TravelCenters of America,' BP's spokesperson said. BP acquired TA in May 2023. The acquisition, which included TA's 300 travel centers and 20,000 employees, 'fundamentally changed' BP's U.S. footprint, the oil giant said in its 2024 annual report. It's unclear how many of those 20,000 team members were in marketing. Recommended Reading BP to cut about 5% of global workforce
