    What are things too do @ cap cod in Mid October
    Pieter answered:
    October is my favorite season on the Cape and Islands. The weather is crisp but the water is still (barely) warm enough for swimming. There are a bunch of harvest festivals around the Cape, so check wherever you're staying locally. Also, it's the tail end of whale watching season. Barnstable and Hyannis both have great whale watching tours.

    Where are the best beaches for families on Cape Cod?
    Graham answered:
    Typcially, the best beaches for younger swimmers are on the west-facing side of the Cape, which fronts the more sheletered waters of Cape Cod Bay. Cape Cod's Atlantic-facing shoreline experiences much bigger surf, so not ideal if you have younger kids. One of my favorite beaches for kids is Skaket Beach near Orleans, which has big tidepools and shallow water that is perfect for toddlers who want to roam and splash around. In Chatham, you might try Cockle Cove Beach, which fronts the sheltered waters of Nantucket Sound. Hope this helps!

    The prettiest resort in Cape Cod is Wequassett their beach looks like it is in the carribean their pool is brand new and even if you don't stay there you can enjoy the outdoor pool bar area on Sunday afternoons they have island music, it is fabulous. I also recommend going to Nauset Beach consider also going to Provincetown and taking a dune buggy tour through Art's dune tours. enjoy your stay.
