Cape Cod Travel Tips
Some of the best Cape Cod Travel Tips I can give is to make your reservations for hotel, motel, cottage, inn, bed & breakfast as early as possible as Cape Cod is pretty much sold out with few exceptions during peak season (mid June - Labor Day).
July 4th weekend without reservations, pretty much forget it. You will be doing a lot of sitting in traffic with no place to go. One exception would be to wait till the last possible minute then check Hot Wire, if there is availabilty you would be more likely to get a great rate as we did ($92.00 per night). This would only work if you are flexable to what is available and where. For those who drive to Cape Cod try to avoid getting on the cape on Friday evening or off cape late Sunday afternoon as you will get more than a little frustrated with the traffic.
I would also recommend a GPS as a nice little extra travel companion, though not a necessity a very handy little gadget. I would also recomend getting to your Cape Cod daily travel destination (ex. Provincetown waterfront) early morning for the best parking as the lots fill up fast. Expect to pay $10-$15 to park for the day. Best idea is to tote your bikes along, unload once parked and bike around the area or to the beach, harbor cruises, museums, ect. Bike rentals are also available in most of the busy villages.
There is also trolley tours in most cape towns and villages. Whatever your preference enjoy as there is plenty to see and do, just be sure to allow yourself enough time as most villages of Cape Cod tend need more than one day to take it all in. Don't forget your camera!!!
