Harwich is a delightful town on the lower Cape that offers spectacular beaches and fresh water ponds for swimming and boating. The Cape Cod Rail Trail follows a former railroad right-of-way for 22 miles through 6 local towns. Its paved surface, few hills, and well-marked automobile crossings make it ideal for cyclists, runners, walkers, and horseback riders. Quality restaurants abound as well as 'Home Made' Ice Cream shops. Many antique and gift shops are located nearby on Rte 6A and Rte 28. There are many local live theatre groups within a 30 minute drive. Provincetown is a center for the arts and offers numerous galleries and boutique shops as well as lots of local color.
