Cape Cod is ready to host you! Our beautiful beaches and plentiful accommodations are awaiting. Enjoy unique shopping, unparalleled outdoor recreation, and indoor / outdoor dining, with more activities soon to follow. We are working together to keep you safe so all are following the Commonwealth’s Mandatory Safety Standards.

If you are traveling to Cape Cod from within Massachusetts or Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New York and New Jersey you need not to self-quarantine. This list of lower risk COVID-19 states will be updated regularly. Visitors from other states must complete a Massachusetts Traveler Form. Read more here.

An accurate count for Cape Cod in the Census 2020 is a critical path for assuring the Cape receives its appropriate share of federal funds and resources for infrastructure like roads and bridges and transit. It only takes a few minutes and can be done ONLINE. The deadline for the Census has been moved up to September 30th. Please help us achieve 100% response rate for Cape Cod!

Tonight, 8/27, we have STREET MAGIC, 

Boston's Favorite group singing all of your favorite classic hits! 

This is a one-time appearance so make your reservations now!

In order to create an enjoyable, safe experience for you we have made a few changes to our typical acapella performances. Street Magic will be using microphones in a location that will be visible to both parties inside and outside, and will not be singing at each table to ensure that all guests keep a safe distance. This will be convenient as now you can clap and sing along to the songs we all know and love without having to wait for them to come to your table. Any location will be easily heard from any part of the restaurant. 

Tables will continue to be a safe distance of 6 feet apart and parties that are waiting to be seated will be expected to wait outside in 

order to assure our dining guests feel safe and comfortable at all times. 

Indoor and outdoor dining is available

Are you up for a Challenge?

Our Annual RUCK4HIT Relay Event has taken on a New Face due to COVID-19

Mark your calendars for The "Not your Ordinary RUCK4HIT Challenge Weekend"

September 26-27, 2020

Looking for something to train for this summer while supporting a great cause? Do you like to ruck, run, walk, bike, paddle, swim or hike? Create a team, join a team, or participate solo and help us to raise awareness and funds for Heroes In Transition!

All miles that you cover during the weekend will count towards the overall goal - to see how many miles we can collectively ruck, run, walk, bike, paddle, swim, or hike while wearing a ruck sack, backpack or something similar. " As every service member is forced to carry the burden of war during active service and beyond, carrying the ruck sack is symbolic of hardships endured and the perseverance required to complete the mission."

This year, riders will complete 55-miles of bike riding at their own pace, on their own routes, any time during the week of September 13-20.

But some things don't change: WE CAN has once again put together a Gasp team - for the 10th consecutive year!

There are many ways you can support Team WE CAN. If you want to ride, it' s not too late to sign up. Under the team leadership of Andi Genser, each rider is working to accomplish their individual riding goal while raising funds to support WE CAN’s programs. Email Siobhan Clune to learn more.
