Things to do around Cape Cod
Hi,
We are planning to visit Cape Cod for the memorial day weekend and I had a few questions.
Can you do Whale watching at this time of the year ?
Since the water is going to be too cold what other activities can you do around Cape cod ?
We both like being outdoors and would appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

There are so many things to do on the Cape, it is impossible to list them all. For starters, this is Figawi Race weekend so all restaurants, bars, parks etc. in Hyannis are great places to watch the start and end of this great race in Hyannis Harbor.
There are fifteen towns on the Cape, each with several unique villages that are a joy to explore.
For history you can go to: Provincetown and the Pigrim Monument; the JFK museum and JFK memorial in Hyannis.
Form outdoor/scenic there is the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham, CC Museum of Natural History, Brewster and Longpoint Breakwater walk in Ptown.
I could go on & on but you only have a weekend. Yes the Whale-Watches will be running also.

Staying in North Truro, it's just a short hop to Provincetown center, where the Whale-Watch boats are.
I prefer the morning whale watch and then be back in Provincetown for lunch.
Bring some jackets it can get cool out on the ocean.
There is a current thread on this forum called Sea Sick with lots of suggestions to prevent motion sickness.

Gene, bennnie
Thank you for your replies.
I have another question about the beaches: I read somewhere that the beaches on the southern side are warmer than the rest of the cape, would that hold for this time of the year ? Should I pack my swimsuit ??
I read the post on sea sickness,since it is not a long trip,it looks like ginger chews might be the way to go.

Just wanted to add...we spent Memorial Day weekend at the Cape a few years ago and went on a Whale Watching trip...we only saw one whale, though. It was nice just to be on the water, but don't expect a ton of activity.
Also, the water will be WAY too cold to swim in, but we enjoyed spending time just lounging on the beaches.
