Wake up to a warm breeze right off the water

The heart of a Cape Cod vacation is the nearness to the ocean and Cape Cod Bay, along with the pleasures that implies: from feeling the ocean breeze during a quiet walk in the dunes to jet skiing or surfing or nature cruises. The Cove on the Waterfront, in centrally located Orleans and cheek-to-cheek with the Cape Cod National Seashore, places you near all this beauty. Rest well in rooms or suites that may include waterfront views, kitchenettes, flat screen TV with HBO and ESPN. Your day can be as active as you want it to be. Unwind with a good book on a sandy beach, lulled by the rhythm of the ocean or head out for golf, shopping and dining in Provincetown, or antique browsing along the King’s Highway.
