Orleans

If you don't act like a seal, you can still swim at this iconic big-wave beach and avoid the great whites. #beaches

Established in 1875. Kid friendly (chix fingers came out fast). Good service. Tasty Boston Red beer on tap. Yummy Bacon wrapped scallops appetizers. Eating on the waterfront deck recommended.

Popular places to visit

Skaket Beach

Warm, clear waters make this beach destination ideal for casual swimming, watersports or a restorative rest on the white sandy shore.

Skaket Beach
An evening at the Cape is just what the weather gods recommend. Come summer and most Bostonians don't lose a single opportunity to hit the coastline. These miles of pristine beaches make 100 days of summer absolutely worthwhile. Most people have a few cape stories, and so do we. Hoping to share them with you all over this summer. #CapeCod #VisitMA

This windmill was built in the early 1700's in South Orleans. By 1839 it was moved to overlook the Town Cove on the present hillside site of The Governor Prence Motor Inn on Rt 6A. During the recent restoration it was relocated to the small park on the shore of Town Cove where it stands today.
