# 2 Things to do on Cape Cod – Lighthouses

Things to do on Cape Cod

There are 13(!) lighthouses on Cape Cod stretching from Falmouth all the way to Provincetown and they are spectacular!  Some can be toured, others just appreciated for their history and design.  Each lighthouse is pretty straightforward in terms of design but, each also has its own unique character and special place on the Cape.  The shifting sands make this area treacherous for ships, especially back in the day.  The story is that there are enough shipwrecks that if you put them end to end they would stretch from Provincetown to the tip of the Monomoy Peninsula…that’s a lot of wrecks and that’s why we have a bunch of great lighthouses for your to enjoy!

#3 Things to do on Cape Cod – Biking

The best way to see the Cape is by bike.  A slower pace, the sun on your face, and you are in for a day not soon forgotten.  The Platinum Pebble Boutique Inn has complimentary bikes for Guests to enjoy and the Cape Cod Rail Trail is minutes away.  Explore the best of Cape Cod at your pace and pass ice cream shops, multiple town’s quaint Main Streets, fresh water lakes for a swim, ride through the forests of Nickerson State Park, or just explore the side streets that lead to the many beaches and find your own secret spot.

#4 Things to do on Cape Cod – Hiking

The author has hiked the John Muir Trail in Yosemite National Park and explored Rocky Mountain National Park and has found nirvana on Cape Cod!  The solitude of the Great Island Trail or the history and discovery of the Dune Shacks of Provincetown are exhilarating and offer an insight into what shaped the Cape and some options for a bit of adventure.

#5 Things to do on Cape Cod – Commercial Street, Provincetown

P’town is so different from the rest of what you will discover on Cape Cod making it a must stop destination for anyone coming to the Cape.  Always lively, colorful, and interesting…you will enjoy one of the coolest downtown scenes on Cape and eat well while you are there.  Care to see some whales?  Do it in Provincetown, you are guaranteed to have the experience of your life.  Every Guest of the Platinum Pebble Boutique Inn that went saw many, many whales.  Incredible.
