Cape Cod -- that sandy peninsula off the east end of Massachusetts -- has attractions for people of all ages and tastes, and people looking for a romantic weekend are certainly among them. Towns from Hyannis and Barnstable through Chatham and out to remote Provincetown offer luxurious hotels, inns, and resorts to guests seeking a romantic getaway. While on Cape Cod, be sure to explore the Cape Cod National Seashore and try to take a whale watch cruise or dune tour. And don't pass on the fried clams, ever,

Seeking some private time? How about booking a resort on a private beach?

The only thing more romantic than the word “beach” is the phrase “private beach.” At Edgewater Beach Resort, about 300 feet of private, picturesque beach overlooking Nantucket Sound ensures that your romantic getaway will have a real Cape Cod feel to it. This year-round oceanfront resort (the Atlantic can be quite dramatic in the winter, too) includes outdoor and year-round indoor pools and spa, a fitness center and a putting green steps from the beach. Want the ultimate in together time? Ask about the one-bedroom deluxe oceanfront suites, where the only thing between you and the water is 100 feet of dunes. Those suites come with a gas fireplace and a private ocean viewing room with hot tub.

Romantic inn on the Cape’s bay side is quintessential just-the-two-of-us location
