The boyfiancé and I have this thing for visiting popular seasonal locales in the off-season. An island in the winter, a famous-for-foliage town in the heat of summer. It’s so fun to see these areas without all the crowds of tourists, not to mention without all the jacked-up prices.
We headed over the bridge to the Cape to run some quick wedding errands (two months!!) this weekend, and had the best day strolling the quiet towns.
One of the best things to do in these seasonal towns? Support the businesses that do stay open all year… they are hungry for customers, and most will offer exceptional deals and sales!
Browse an overwhelming collection of used books at Yellow Umbrella Books in Chatham.
Lobster roll at The Impudent Oyster.
Drive up to Coastguard Beach (and dog-watch… they’re the only ones out there!)
Treasure hunt at Bob’s Back Antiques.
Tasty treats + hot soups and sandwiches at Cottage Street Bakery (plus the cutest vintage decor!).
What do you find yourself doing in summer towns during the winter?

So cozy! I love “beach towns” off season. Walking around Rockport is one of my favorites 🙂
