Activity Guides

Active life on the Cape: popular things to do

Cape Cod is known for its sun, beaches, and relaxing atmosphere. For those looking to do more than just laze around on the beach all day, there's plenty to do on Cape Cod.

Biking on Cape Cod


Biking is hugely popular on Cape Cod. Try the Cape Cod Rail Trail, located in Dennis, which winds up all the way at Wellfleet. This hidden bike path was once a railroad line, but has been converted into a bike path for everyone's enjoyment. Also don't miss the bike paths in Falmouth, which run behind the downtown area and wind up at Woods Hole. You can also find paths along Route 6A and in Provincetown at the "Provincelands" area.

Paddling on Cape Cod

Cape Cod is a paddlers paradise. The rivers, inlets, creeks, streams, saltwater ponds, and inland ponds are some of the calmest waters by the ocean you'll ever experience, and also some of the most scenic that you'll ever set your eyes on. The guide on the right gives some great examples of places to paddle to on your excursion, like the beauty of Bass Hole in Yarmouth Port, and the unbelievably calm waters of Pleasant Bay in Chatham/Orleans.
