FOR BEACH
BODS AND SURFERS
If your standard beachwear is a cover-up and
you never set foot in the water, lose yourself for
a while on the Outer Cape, where the untouched
natural beauty and casual undertones will put you
at home among surfers, sun gods, and free spirits.
When cocktail hour rolls around, you’ll find tourists
and locals in two places: In Provincetown, the
Boatslip is legendary for its 4 o’clock Tea Dance,
an outdoor party that turns decidedly disco on
Thursday nights. For the flip-flops and shorts set,
it’s the Beachcomber in Wellfleet, home to the
“Goombay Smash” cocktail and front-row views of
Cahoon Hollow Beach.
FOR SOPHISTICATES
For those who know that there’s no
greater luxury than an ocean view,
the grand dame resorts of the Cape
call for a serious toast. In Chatham,
the Beach House at Chatham Bars
Inn offers knockout vistas worthy of
the splurge on a signature cocktail
and locally-caught fish tacos or
lobster nachos. Nearby, the outer
bar and grille at Wequassett Resort
pairs a to-die-for setting on Pleasant
Bay with fare to match; you could
practically lean off the deck and
pluck those oysters from the water
yourself. On the heated rooftop deck
of the Pelham House Resort in Dennis
Port, your fresh sea snacks and craft
cocktail are accompanied by the
sweet sound of ocean waves. And a
seat at The Beach Bar at Brewster’s
Ocean Edge Resort gives you eye
candy views to a stunning ocean
sunset; savor it with one of their fresh
lobster rolls and a frozen mudslide,
and call it a perfect Cape Cod day.
