Cape Cod - Unique and Odd

March is here! We can already feel the warmth in the air.  We’ve had a few very mild days this week and feel very lucky to have gotten a taste of spring. Speaking of luck and springtime, the luck of the Irish is popping up everywhere.  

Just in time for the Saint Patrick’s Day, there is the famous Yarmouth parade, an annual festive event that draws people from every corner of Cape Cod and beyond. Massachusetts is known for being a home-base for people of Irish descent and Cape Cod is no different. We’ve got Irish Pubs all over, from The Claddagh in West Harwich to Liam McGuire’s in Falmouth and everywhere in between. 

Looking for a true Irish breakfast? The Keltic Kitchen in Yarmouth has got you covered. You don’t even have to have that Celtic blood running through you, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! The St. Patrick’s Day parade in Yarmouth takes place this Saturday March 5, 2016 at 11am. Be sure to arrive early as this event does draw in the masses of lads and lasses.

Cape Cod is full of all kinds of unique attractions and out-of-the-box things to do. Have you ever been to the Edward Gorey House, home of the famous off-beat children’s book illustrator? How about the oldest home on Cape Cod – The Hoxie House in Sandwich? Word on the street is that a pirate museum may be opening at the site of the old ZooQuarium in Yarmouth. Scargo Tower is a sight to behold, located in Dennis, this 1901 cobblestone tower offers breathtaking vistas from the highest point in the mid-Cape area and is free to visit. How about gazing up at a 150 year old weeping beech tree, feel transported to a mythical place beneath the branches of this historic giant in Yarmouth Port. 

In a place so full of history, oddities, unique locales, and vibrancy you’re sure to find something different that piques your interest here on Cape Cod.

Put down your phones, look up, and enjoy the moment. We promise, Facebook will still be there when you come back. 

Experience something unique and interesting here. From the Irish St. Patrick’s Day festivities in Yarmouth to historical landmarks and the amazing natural world, there is something here that will make even the most difficult to impress teenager say “Wow!” 

So get out there, explore off the beaten path, and make a memory!

Momentary Bliss from Freshwater to Saltwater

Photo: Monomoy Island Excursions

While lathering up and soaking in the strong rays of sunshine this past weekend we could not help but notice a large object curiously gazing upon the beach. As we got closer to the water’s edge the black entity quickly popped its head back under and swam away. These seal encounters happen every day here on Cape Cod and with only feet between the soothing sand and massive seals we could not help but be stunned.

Captivated by this sighting the NEVR team sought out to experience more so we turned to Captain Pete at Monomoy Island Excursions.  Captain Pete and his trained team leave out of Saquatucket Harbor every day to journey past beautiful sights one can only see from the water. Stage harbor, Monomoy Island and Chatham Light house are a few spots along the outing where breath taking views are met with humbling run-ins with the natural inhabitants like seals, birds and fish.

Not only are the Nantucket Sound, Atlantic Ocean and the Bay perfect for these daily boat excursions but have become the ideal kayaking and stand up paddle boarding locations. Combining both exercise and our personal favorite activity, tanning, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding make for the perfect Cape day too. Unique locations like Herring River in Harwich, Lower Pleasant Bay in Chatham and Upper Mill Pond in Brewster allow for these activities to take a course of true adventure and serenity.

Our paddle boarding travels with our friends Juliette and Ryan from SUPfari Adventures have taken us along the many ponds and shorelines of the Cape. These rides have brought us not only momentary bliss from the seabirds songs but a soothing ride from freshwater to saltwater past wrens, wading birds and regal ospreys.  For us this is always the perfect way to get our bodies moving, enjoy the many scenic views of this place we call home and get some vitamin C.

Little Victories on the Cape Cod Rail Trail

While some nasty crashes led to premature conclusions for the international cyclists participating in the Tour de France, here on the Cape you don’t need the winning yellow jersey to get out there. With the Tour de France kicking off earlier this week we thought what better locally loved activity to discuss but cycling.

Although sprinting up the hazardous mountains of France with hundreds of cyclists on your tail sounds just great, cycling on the cape is a bit different. The ocean breeze, warming sun and quaint towns helps all of us here on the Cape slow things down and that’s exactly how we go about our cycling. With over 22 miles of paved, undisturbed track the Cape Cod Rail Trail travels from Dennis through Brewster and even over to Wellfleet.

Earlier this week a member of our NEVR Team, Joanne, rented bikes for herself and friends who celebrated their victory with Bloody Mary’s and Goombays at the Beachcomber in

Wellfleet-- close to the Trails end. Simple triumphs like this are what make life taste so good, and the drinks definitely don’t hurt either. It is thru that the art of happiness is perfectly imperfect; however, the one proven fact is that these little moments are worth enjoying.

Jimmy Ponte, our friend down at Chatham Hood Bikes, spoke to us earlier about the benefits of cycling. With both mentally and physically rejuvenating qualities, Jimmy says he most enjoys making families and his bike renters happy. So if you find yourself daydreaming of the Tour de France while pedaling past ponds, open fields and spectacular views on the Cape Cod Rail Trail, trust us we won’t tell! 

Find your happiness and let Cape Cod help!  Visit Chatham Hood Bikes for bike rentals and tune ups and ask for Jimmy. Also check out Essential Rentals for  reliable rentals on everything from bikes to beach chairs.
