BONUS – INSIDER TIP
During the holiday season lots of local homes put on Christmas light displays, there have been a few years I do a Christmas light drive through the lower cape towns and check out the lights (look at your local town Facebook group during the holidays to see who’s displaying) If you’re a family with young kids, or just a lover of Christmas - The Polar Express™ Train Ride out of the Cape Cod Central Railroad is a lot of fun! Shop LOCAL! There are plenty of local boutiques and shops that have one of a kind gifts for your holiday gifting!
