Things To Do
Cape Cod Potato Chips
If you know Emily, you know Cape Cod Chips are a summertime beach staple for her! Cape Cod Potato Chips began as a dream of two business owners and on July 4, 1980 their dream became a reality when they opened a small store front in Hyannis, MA. The public's love of their snacks inspired them to open the factory doors for tours in 1985. Since then, the Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory Tour has become the Cape's larges tourist attraction! They are open Monday-Friday for tours between 9am - 5pm.
Cape Cod National Seashore
The Cape Cod National Seashore, created on August 7, 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, encompasses 43,607 acres on Cape Cod with a 40-mile stretch of coastline including Nauset Beach, Marconi Beach and Race Point beaches (all rank in the top 10 in the United States). Beyond the shores there are plenty of hiking and biking trails to explore, and two helpful visitor centers that are worth a pit stop!
The Pilgrim Monument
The Pilgrim Monument was built between 1907 and 1910, to commemorate the first landing of the Mayflower Pilgrims in Provincetown on November 11, 1620. The heart-healthy walk to the top of 116 steps and 60 ramps only takes about 10 minutes at a leisurely pace and provides the best view of Cape Cod Bay! The monument is the tallest all-granite structure in the United States. While you are there, don't forget to check out Provincetown (P-Town) and its unique culture!
Cape Cod Beer Company / Brewery
Cape Cod Beer offers mini-tours at 11:00am, Monday-Friday. Full-guided tours are offered on Saturdays only at 11:00am.
Cape Cod Winery
Cape Cod Winery is located in the bustling town of Falmouth, MA (Emily's hometown). Falmouth boasts over 68 miles of shoreline dotted with white sand beaches, eight quaint villages and the Shining Sea Bikepath, inspired by “America the Beautiful,” written by Falmouth’s very own Katherine Lee Bates. Cape Cod Winery is a small family run business. They are open 12PM, Friday-Sunday.
Truro Vineyards
The Vineyard is situated adjacent to the National Seashore. Truro is one of the most pristine and underdeveloped little towns on the East Coast. No fast food restaurants, no stoplights and no mail delivered.....but one Vineyard! Open year round for tastings.
