We've stayed at Sweetwater Forest a few times and are going back this year, but it's not near the water.
Yes, bring your bikes. +1 for the Cape Cod Rail Trail, a paved multi-use trail that mostly follows an old rail bed (no hills.) If you're on the trail, stop at Arnolds in Eastham for lunch.
I believe there are a few places you can rent kayaks from but you're on your own to find them.
The Salt Marsh Visitor Center (National Seashore) offers guided canoe trips into the salt marshes. You can also park at the Salt Marsh VC and bicycle to one of the beaches.
The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is a nice place to visit, you can walk the trails to the ocean. In Brewster check out the general store and have some ice cream at the shop next door.
Provincetown is an interesting visit for shopping, dining, and experiencing the alternative lifestyle. Parking can be a PIA though.
If time and budget allows, take a ferry to either Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket. There's a privately-run whaling museum in Nantucket that has an exquisite collection of scrimshaw, and IMHO that museum is better than the National Whaling Museum in New Bedford.
