Our annual summer sojourn to Cape Cod includes spending the day at one of the beaches at the National Seashore. The expansive sandy beach and breathtaking ocean vistas make a day at the beach more of an experience than a field trip. Each year we complete our day with a fire on the beach. Friends and family join us for a barbecue at the water’s edge that includes a variety of food and entertainment. And like any good fire we finish with S'mores!
Sincerely,

Famous for its windswept beaches and spectacular views, Cape Cod National Seashore offers a quintessentially New England experience, from Nauset Lighthouse to the seaside cottages that nestle among the dunes. The park’s 43,000 acres make up most of the curving peninsula between Chatham and Provincetown, featuring barrier islands, pine and oak forests, wild cranberry bogs, kettle ponds, tidal flats, and historic structures from the area's long maritime history.
