My family and I were lucky enough to travel up to Martha’s Vineyard two years ago with Marnely, and every single bit of our itinerary was exquisitely planned. Beyond the postcard-perfect beaches, we discovered such a rich tapestry of experiences—from taste-testing local ice creams to biking along the Vineyard to noshing on as many lobster rolls and fresh shucked oysters as we could get our hands on. We sat down with Marnely again to get her 11 can’t-miss picks on the Cape for any visitor.
11 Best Things to Do When Visiting Cape Cod
From iconic landmarks to local favorites, these 11 experiences, restaurants and more will guide your next trip up to the Cape.
“You've probably seen the TikTok videos of this drink; it’s the coffee of the summer, some would say on the Cape,” Murray said. “It's a peanut butter flavored latte with marshmallow fluff, and it's truly delicious! Whether you like coffee or not, you have to try it.”
2. Masterson's Made Shop - Woods Hole, MA
“The owners, Patrick and Melissa, are amazing and so passionate about everything they make and sell, and it’s so easy to spend an hour perusing what they sell,” Murray said.
3. Dune Shacks Provincetown, MA
“The trek out is part of the adventure, to be honest,” Murray said. “The historic dune shacks are among the nineteen shacks located within Peaks Hill Bars National Register, and they’re very cool to see. It’s rugged, scenic, and unforgettable.”
There’s nothing more quintessential to the all-American summer than a baseball game, and there’s no better setting than the Cape. The Cape Baseball League is huge with locals, and it’s not hard to see why. This storied league features top college players from around the country, giving you a front-row seat to future major leaguers. The best part? It’s all for free.
Games are played across the Cape, including at Veterans Field in Chatham, Red Wilson Field in South Yarmouth, McKeon Park in Hyannis, and Eldredge Park in Orleans. Each field offers its own charm, from hilltop views to historic grandstands.
5. Art Galleries in Provincetown, MA
Get a taste of Provincetown’s vibrant art scene with a stroll. Home to over 40 galleries lining Commercial and Bradford Streets, a great way to get a taste of the art scene is with a pit stop at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) or the lively Friday night Gallery Strolls, which go from May to October. The event is great for visitors because you can meet artists, sip wine and discover new work you can bring (or ship) home.
6. Hangar B Eatery Chatham, MA
“You can watch planes take off and land all while having a delicious meal. Also, always, always, ALWAYS order the donuts if they are on the specials menu,” Murray said.
7. Lune in Dennisport, MA
“Lune is so special and has a chef-led dining experience unlike anything else on the Cap,” Murray said. Thoughtful wine pairings and a cozy open kitchen add to the charm. Come for the Sunday à la carte or the multi-course tasting menu, just be sure to make a reservation because it books weeks in advance.
Who doesn’t love deep-fried seafood? Iconic favorite Kream n’ Kone serves up some of the area’s best. “It’s such a charming family-owned restaurant by Angelo and Angela. The owners are the nicest people and so passionate about their food,” Murray said.
Known for crisp clam strips, scallops, haddock, and onion rings, this restaurant—which has been around since 1953—is the go-to for casual riverside dining. With generous portions (so don’t forget the take-out box), a laid-back vibe and a view of the Swan River, it’s a must for fans of classic Cape fare.
9. Pelham House Resort, Dennis, MA
“It’s a go-to for everything from romantic getaways to family vacations,” Murray said. Just be sure to book early.”
10. Skippy's Pier 1 South Yarmouth, MA
“Skippy’s is such a hidden gem!” Murray said. “I recommend the lobster roll, the shrimp, the meatballs - honestly there is something for everyone.”Skippy’s is open for lunch and dinner (closed Tuesdays), and in the summer, the deck is where you want to sit, thanks to the waterfront comedy nights, sunset views and coastal vibes.
11. Taco Blanco Falmouth, MA
“They also have a taco truck that pops up at events and games, and you don’t want to miss those. The flavors rotate and are so mouthwatering,” Murray said.
