Tell me about Cape Cod

So we booked the 10:30 AM whale watching cruise on a Friday out of P-town. I suppose we could rent a car somewhere? Any ideas for that? Does Uber work up there? Park somewhere close to P-town and call an Uber?

Spent many, many summer vacations at the cape and in Ptown. If you take 6A into town and turn up the road that goes to the Pilgrim Monument, there is street parking up there, which may work for you as not everybody knows about it. If there isn't anything up there, at the end of the street there is a big lot where people park with rigs. Bring a fat wallet. Prices have gone through the roof over the years. Lots of NYC people/Boston people/ gays with expendable incomes stay in Ptown and prices are high. We stayed in N. Truro with friends at Corn Hill Beach for many years as well as camping there when I was a kid. There is no place like the Cape. I also recommend Arnold's for great seafood, as well as other items for the rest of your family. It's always busy, but don't let the crowd scare you away - they know how to move people through.

Awesome. The nice people at Atlantic Oaks suggested we take the bus up to P-town and back and leave the rig there for the day. Cost seems good and it might be a lot easier assuming the ride isn't too long.

One last thing, we want to go to a baseball game that Friday night (July 8th). Looks like there are five of them that night in the cape cod league. Any better than the others? We'll be leaving and driving around Boston after the game, so location leaving the Cape would be best.

The party also spills onto the streets and sidewalks. Not saying anything negative, just letting you know.


This is what I was referring to when I said too many things to explain to young kids. I took my kids to P-town once. Big mistake (in the 1980s that is).

It's changed a HUGE amount since the 80s. I was there last year and it's turned back into a very fun place. You're worried about having to explain to kids? Bet they already know all about it. And you'd be surprised at how young. If the OP is worried about late night parties, then go during the day. Be prepared for some odd-ball things but ENJOY.

There is a campground right in P-town called Coastal Acres. They may let you park there for the day. You can easily walk into town from there or Cab/Uber.

There is also an RV lot in town at the corner of Shank Painter Rd and US 6.

I know Uber works in Chatham MA, My son and has GF used it for transportation from a wedding we attended back to Atlantic oaks campground.

Could you rent a car for the day? I know it's an added expense but that will give you so much more freedom.
