Father's Day Around the Corner -- Give Dad a Trip to Cape Cod

Father's Day is fast approaching. Give Dad a fishing weekend getaway to celebrate this special day. Kevin will be happy to share some of his fishing hole secrets -- I even know a couple of them, too.

If you prefer, book one of the fishing boats in the Rock Harbor fleet. They will provide a stupendous day of fishing. The stripers are running, and put up a nice little fight.

If fishing isn't Dad's thing, the Cape Cod National Seashore is also just around the corner. After a stop at the Visitor's Center for trail maps, Dad can enjoy a hike through Red Maple Cedar Swamp and the Fort Hill Trail. There are other trails to follow also. Here, too, he can get a free permit and build a campfire at any of the Sheashore's six swimming beaches, including Coast Guard Beach -- in Eastham and 10 minutes away from The Whalewalk Inn & Spa.

So book a room for Dad and guest, or buy him a gift certificate so he can come on a weekend that works with his busy schedule. FOR EVERY $100 DOLLARS YOU SPEND ON A GIFT CERTIFICATE, WE WILL ADD $10 EXTRA. OFFER EXPIRES JUNE 20TH. So order your certificate today either on our website, or call 508-255-0617.

Cape Cod National Seashore--11 Things to Do to Bring Out the Kid in You

Remember all the simple fun you had as a kid when you visited the seashore, lake shore, or river shore? Well, here are 11 things you can do to bring back the kid in you, while visiting the Cape Cod National Seashore beaches. They are:

1. Go beach combing to collect shells, stones and even sea glass.

2. Climb a lighthouse -- Highland Light has some great views!

3. Play in the water, ride a wave, go body surfing -- lessons are available for all who want to be the great Kahuna.

4. Eat a cranberry (home grown in bread, pancakes, or jam), and try a wild beach plum. (We serve it as our jam for toast.

5. Hold a hermit crab.

6. Take a boat ride -- canoe, kayak, whale watching boat, deep sea fishing boat out of Rock Harbor, seal watching, or sail boat ride.

7. Create a Sand Sculpture and take a picture and send it home for all to see.

8. Catch a fish and eat a clam -- fish from shore, from a boat, in a pond, or in the sea. If you don't catch anything go to a great clam shack where clams, oysters and fish and chips abound.

9. Hike a quiet a woods -- enjoy 14 miles of self guided nature trails, listen to nature, and get energized with a brisk walk or a lazy stroll.

10 Enjoy a Campfire at the Beach -- every Monday and Wednesday at Nauset Light Beach at 7:30 during the month of July and 7:00 pm in August.

11. Book a room at the Whalewalk Inn and Spa -- start the day with an awesome breakfast, spend the day doing 1 through10, and partake of the many great restaurants for dinner. Then begins Cape night life -- an evening at the theatre, go to the drive-in for a double feature under the stars, live music and comedy at the Cape Cod Melody tent, or relax in your room with a brandy and a good book.

See you on Cape Cod!
