Orleans has everything! Gorgeous white sand beaches, freshwater ponds perfect for children, a state park for hiking and biking, and wonderful restaurants from gourmet to clam shacks. Peruse the hundreds of antique shops nearby or ride your bike on the 28 mile long Cape Cod Rail Trail that passes directly through town. Dig your own clams for dinner 200 yards from your backdoor and catch an Orleans Firebirds baseball game at night. Go whale or seal watching, surf or deep-sea fishing or take an informative nature walk with a naturalist from the Cape Cod National Seashore center nearby. Orleans has charming shops, craft and art galleries as well as major supermarkets. Drive your own SUV on the sand out to the very tip of Nauset Beach and picnic by the rolling waves. You can see live theater or a summer concert right in town, catch a first run movie nearby, or even go to one of the country's last drive-ins less than 15 minutes away. There is something to do for everyone in Orleans.
