Cape Cod is full of great spots for hiking, including Coy's Brook Woodlands in Harwich. This nature preserve has a short trail and plenty of bird watching opportunities, making it a must-stop area for locals.
Harwich, MA, is full of wonderful activities, but a membership at the Wychmere Beach Club, perhaps the Cape's most exclusive private organization, is one of the best.
Harwich Port Summer Nights Musical Strolls are an excellent way to spend Wednesday evenings in the summer because they offer free live music on Route 28. Businesses stay open, too, providing dining and shopping opportunities.
Brooks Park acts as a recreational center and meeting place for the residents of Harwich Center. The park isn't overly busy on a day-to-day basis but has everything locals need for a fun day with family and friends.
Although Harwich Port gets the attention of visitors to Cape Cod, locals know that Harwich Center provides an excellent quality of life in a quiet, yet historic, location.
Lower Cape Cod might be known for its oceanfront beaches, but there is an abundance of ponds in Harwich and Brewster that are worth checking out this summer.
With there being so much to do on the Cape, you might never want to leave, but there are a couple of beautiful islands nearby that you might have heard about a time or two.
And with so many ferry options available, there has never been a better time to visit Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket for a day, a week, or anywhere in between.
