Harvest Festivals
Fall is a time for celebration, and Cape Cod is known for its charming harvest festivals. Activities include apple picking and visiting pumpkin patches. The annual Wellfleet OysterFest, typically held in October, is a must-visit event for seafood lovers. Enjoy fresh oysters, local crafts, and live music in the festive atmosphere.
Scenic Hikes and Nature Walks
With the temperatures cooling down, fall is an ideal time for hiking and exploring Cape Cod's beautiful trails. With its stunning fall foliage, the Cape Cod Rail Trail is an excellent choice for a picturesque hike or bike ride. Additionally, take advantage of the trails at the National Seashore, where you can take in the breathtaking coastal views and enjoy the serenity of nature.
Whale Watching
While whale watching is typically a summer activity, some charters in Cape Cod extend their season into the fall. This is a unique opportunity to witness these majestic creatures before they head south for the winter.
Cozy Coastal Dining
As the weather cools, there's nothing quite like enjoying a warm meal at one of Cape Cod's many coastal restaurants. This fall, indulge in hearty dishes made with fresh, local ingredients. Try clam chowder, lobster rolls, or seasonal specialties at waterfront eateries with stunning ocean views.
