We're taking a family, wife (no pics) and 14 y/o daughter (certainly no pics), trip to Boston/Cape Cod mid-July.

Been to Boston, and we know what we're doing there, but have never been to Cape Cod.

Any must do's?

I definitely want to check out a Cape Cod league game, so hopefully LSU has someone playing, so that would definitely be the game to go to, but any other thoughts on maybe the best park/town to watch a game would be great.

Thank you in advance.

I’ve heard Bear Week in Provincetown is not to be missed.

I always picked the destinations by which teams had the most LSU players. For one reason or another I ended in Hyannis the most. Fairly centrally located and very crowded. All the ferries to and from the offshore islands go out of there.

To note, there are four regions to Cape Cod, which you can find on a quick Images search. Personally, I'd go Lower or Outer. Provincetown aside, Outer is not as densely-populated + has much better beaches, in my opinion. My dad has a spot in Truro that is perfect for a quiet, peaceful "retreat," but still just ~15 minutes to P-Town for dinner, drinks, etc. Maybe check out some homes in Truro and Wellfleet, but will caution rentals go quick and you might see many require a week stay.

Most Cape League teams are sprinkled through Upper, Mid and Lower, with more than a few in Lower. Most agree that Eldredge (Orleans Firebirds) has the best park to watch a game, which is probably the most-convenient spot from any Outer Cape towns.

Skippers Chowder House in Yarmouth had some really good food. Check out the outer cape and national seashore area.

Craigville Beach in Centerville is nice. Martha's Vineyard is a great excursion- island is very nice. The Dockside Inn in Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard is owned by an LSU grad who grew up on the island. Even flies the LSU flag. Wife and I stayed there. Owner is a hoot!
