But best believe you better drive. As that's the only really way you cane get around this place bordered by more roadside motels than Hitchcock horror flicks. This writer did suddenly start thinking about 'Psycho' for some reason when he took his first trips shower. Still open your curtains to a new day and dive into the pool and you'll see that there isn't much more classic Americana than the iconic motel life. But you're not here on this hook shaped peninsula of the mesmerizing Massachusetts to stay in and watch T.V. or lean over your balcony with a cigarette or cold one and take it all in. It's time to grab your towel and trunks and hit the beach.
And there's plenty for your sand castles and suntans from Seagull to Dennis...they are actually beaches, not the name of your company on this trip. But remember to listen to 'Romeo + Juliet' director Baz Luhrmann and 'Always Wear Sunscreen' class of '97. Believe me. If I could offer you one piece of advice...etc. Because if you don't it will feel like you're insides have been sunburnt too....trust me. Just take my word for it. Don't look at the watch tan line marks left on the only pasty spot left on the top half of my body (yeah I wear jeans...no one needs to see these legs). Just know what time it is.
But from marble white sand to a deep blue sea dive in...but be careful. You know the famous, fictional Amity Island from Steven Spielberg's shark attack classic 'Jaws' was actually filmed in the tourist trap of Martha's Vineyard right? Cue the Roy Scheider iconic GIF ready reaction frame whilst your partner is massaging in your lotion. Yep...we hope you know how to swim. Because 'Baywatch' is on the other side of the coast in California, Hoff.
THE Summer destination of the north east is more than just sand and surf however. As iconic lighthouses will guide you to ponds and parks picturesque perfect until the sun goes down and you are bathed in an orange glow in what will feel like your own secret spot of solitude to just read or gather your thoughts. The Cape is all about the quiet little villages too everywhere you turn after miles of road, each with their own distinct character and friendly feel. And if some of your favourite places to stay in the vast as this island seems United States of America include destinations like Louisiana's New Orleans then this perfect place also has a Mardis Gras of seafood shacks...but I'm sorry no Beignets for you sugar. There's only one place for those as Jon Favreau's Netflix 'Chef' show tells you...Cafe Monde in NOLA's Crescent City.
And after a slow sun burning beautiful day in this historic maritime location and the resort islands islands that surround it like the sun on all your photographic, Instagram memories, there's a menus worth of wonderful restaurants, family owned and chain to take your order as you settle in for the night. All you have to do is take a walk around the hallmark Hyannis, Yarmouth or Provincetown and it won't be long before you find a table to cool off with a pitcher of water and some God sent air conditioning. You're going to be a fan of Cape Cod and as nightfalls you will see that nothing beats that warm evening feeling of a Summer holiday. Screw the staycation, it's time to get out there. All super trips wear capes. TIM DAVID HARVEY.
