Travelers who visit Cape Cod over the long Martin Luther King Day weekend experience a different Cape Cod than those who visit in the summer, but it is an experience that will make you fall even deeper in love with our island home. It’s a quieter place, with most of the action occurring inside homes, shops, and restaurants, the cold outside keeping people inside a little more than normal, and it is a cozier place, with the snow falling creating a blanket of softness that will make you appreciate the blankets you sleep under every night even more. There won’t be any big celebrations on this long weekend, and aside from a well-bundled walk along sandy shores, there won’t be any swimming, but there will be warm moments spent in front of a roaring fire and quiet nights spent enjoying all the comforts of home when you choose New England Vacation Rentals for your MLK Day on Cape Cod holiday.

Sleep in Late

The best part of the Martin Luther King holiday is that there is absolutely nothing you have to do and all the time in the world to do it in. And because there is nothing cozier to do on a cold winter’s morning than snuggling deeper into the warmth of the blankets covering you and falling back to sleep for a little longer, this will be the perfect weekend to do both. Sleep in late, relax even more, and discover what it feels like to wake up feeling rested and ready for a new day of winter adventures.

 

MLK

 

Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, 869 Main Street in Brewster

Playing inside is the most popular thing to do in the winter months, and the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History may bring you joy on this cold winter’s day. Offering an aquarium that never fails to fascinate the kiddos, as well as an Earth & Space Lab, and an inflatable humpback whale, this museum is one that all ages will appreciate.

Comfort Food on a Cold Day at Scargo Café, 799 Main Street in Dennis

Winter is the off-season on Cape Cod, so not every restaurant will be open, but when you are craving a big comfort food meal that someone else prepares, Scargo Café will never let you down. Offering a surf and turf menu, a wonderful selection of specialty cocktails, and an absolutely fantastic dessert menu (their Flourless Chocolate Torte will warm your heart) it’s our favorite spot when our family is hungry and the fireplace in their dining room helps keep us warm.
