The app prompts you not to pay until you get there as you may not have a spot even if you already pre-paid. Pros: bathroom facilities and outdoor showers Snack bar if needed Parking cheaper compared to other beaches on the Cape For us this beach was much closer to where we were staying. Cons: Water was freezing(mid 60s). This may be also viewed as a pro as it felt really cooling after being in it but does take time to get used to. The kids in the group had a hard time venturing any further than knee height. Walk to and from parking lot/ bathroom was a little long. The sand can be a little pebbly.

Guns ocean and…read morethorns The Sagamore Hill Historic Site is the remains of an old battery of two 155 mm artillery pieces that were placed here in WW 2 to protect the Cape Cod Canal and surrounding area against German subs. Like most coastal defense forts, the guns were never fired in anger and were removed after the war. The fort was decommissioned and turned into a park. The site has wide and open trails in the beginning and getting to the site where the old guns were is pretty easy. You can see a few remains of the artillery battery but the main attraction is the great views of the ocean and hills around Sagamore. The site is a nice place for some hiking, easy off road bike riding or snow shoeing and cross country skiing in the winter. However if you try and complete the whole loop be advised that the trail narrows considerably after you reach the artillery site and in the summer gets over grown with impressive thorns, very healthy poison ivy and hordes of ticks. A pleasant and seldom used place that offers a bit of history, great views of the ocean or some exercise. But like many trails in this area it's probably best left till the cold weather.

An incredible outing if you enjoy a lolly-gagging walk in other's gardens!…read more As a child, in the mid-1970s in the South Shore of the Commonwealth, this was a Field Trip destination - say 3rd grade 1975. It was fun back in the day as they had not only the cars they do today, but they boasted an incredible collection of American firearms from the flintlocks of the American Revolution to the Six-Shooters of the Wild Wild West. No more. The cars alone are worth the trek. From those crazy platform things with an engine to Caddy's, a Doosy, and everything in between. Incredible vintage, originals and restored. There is also a building for rotating exhibits. A wonderful set of gardens of flowers, fauna, and herbs. A lovely walk. Also, they've a nice store with some local touristy kind of trinkets, Cape historical stuff, and books on subject at the museum. Several buildings. All walkable. Wear a hat on warm sunny days. Having a water would be a good idea too. A good walk for those in shape. Elderly or handi-able there might be some challenges. I love this place. Reminds me of my childhood and simpler times. A Cape Cod classic.

HMG has quite an amazing and rather extensive collection of automobiles from the early days 1905, 1920s, 1930s, to 1940s. Great to see the various transitions the production and inventions the auto industry went through - various engines of electric, steam, or gasoline as fuel. All autos are perfectly restored and in working condition! Then meander through the magnifique Hydrangea gardens - eight varieties and 160 species...the full varied gardens cover 100 acres. (Lookout NYBG). You're welcome! Finish at the exquisitely restored carousel for a lovely ride! The carousel is beautifully restored. Built in 1908 in Providence, Rhode Island. Thank you for a wonderful time!
