Please weave my intinery! First trip to Cape Cod

Hi,

I am planning to have a vacation to Cape Cod this july for 4 day 3 nights (on weekdays!!).

After some study, I decided to take a whale watching tour, a bike tour , going beaches, and a one-day trip to either MV or Nantucket.

Planning to stay near Provincetown for two days for around $250 and on Nantucket(or MV) for about $400-$500 luxurious(hopefully) romantic (not necessarily, but need some atmosphere ) place for one night.

There are so so many bike trails and beaches, can somebody help to finish up my itinery???? including possible hotel suggestions??

I am bringing my car and my whole family(total 4) is coming with me.

Thanks!!!!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated~

P-Town and the launches to the ferries are pretty far apart: you’d be looking at two hours in the car each way and that’s not including any traffic (even on weekdays July is very busy). For such a short trip all that driving seems like too much to me. I’ve done it before and I was tired before I got there.

I’d do one of the other for your short trip, P-Town or the island, or I’d split the difference and go for the more scenic, remote Outer Cape – there are some more luxurious B%26amp;Bs out there and that sounds like the thing to do. From the Outer Cape an afternoon out in P-Town is just a short drive and you can do that whale watch (Dolphin Fleet’s the best) and bike tour easily. And any of the beaches on the Outer Cape are going to be spectacular – particularly the ocean beaches in Wellfleet. There are also some amazing bike trails out there.

Don’t try to over plan this. Once you get your hotel reservations set you really can let the weather and your mood dictate what you do from day to day. But I would suggest that you have a guide book with you to help out with all the specifics (Kim Grant’s is best).

See some sites, but take some time to relax and enjoy the beach.

Does sound like alot for a short time. I%26#39;d say either skip Ptown or skip going to islands, there really isn%26#39;t time for both. FYI, You said you would have a car, you are not likely going to be able to take it to either island at this point unless you already have made a reservation. The auto reservations book up early in the summer.

Sometime, you can wait, but probably not the best way to spend a vacation.
