It seems fitting that you are considering celebrating our presidents in the place where our country got its start, and even though winter is not really considered a season for visiting Cape Cod, we at New England Vacation Rentals think you will fall in love. Offering a quieter vibe than it does in the summer months, the beaches will be mostly empty, the wait times at popular restaurants practically nonexistent, and a serenity that will be multiplied in our holiday hideaways will settle on your shoulders. This guide to spending Presidents’ Day on Cape Cod will give you a little something extra to look forward to in the days, weeks, and/or months leading up to your visit!

Sunrise Walk on the Beach

Although you will want to sleep in most days of your stay, rising early at least one day will offer a stunning reward, and because the sun rises later in the winter months (approximately 6:35 AM), you will be able to sleep a little longer than those who want to see the sunrise in the summer months. We do advise you bundle up for this early adventure, as the temperatures will probably hover below the freezing point, but as you make tracks in newly fallen snow while the world comes awake around you and the sky turns to fire, you will definitely mark this adventure down as unforgettable.

Ryan Family Amusements, 1067 MA-28 in South Yarmouth

As the weather grows colder and the snow falls harder, you and your family will remain cozy and warm as you play inside at Ryan Family Amusements. Spend a gorgeously gloomy day knocking down pins in their bowling alley, tossing axes at targets while sipping beer and chowing down on pizza, or play all the games in their retro style arcade; how many tickets can you win for your excited kiddos? Their airpark combines inflatables and trampolines, and we can promise that when you spend a few hours playing here with your kids, everyone will sleep well that night!

Captain Parker’s Pub, 668 MA-28 in West Yarmouth

One thing you must do while on Cape Cod, no matter what the season, is experience a bowl of “chowdah” and Captain Parker’s Pub is famous for offering the best chowder in the world, not just on Cape Cod. Open every day of the week from 11:30 AM until 10 PM (it’s winter, it’s cold, and we want to be home in bed!), the food served here is hearty and the drinks will help you warm up from the inside!
