We enjoyed going on the Cape Canal Cruise. Learned a lot and saw an ocean sunfish!

Orleans is not beehive of activity, but it is close to whatever you likely want to do, so it’s a great place to stay. Oh, and there’s a Starbucks inside the Stop n Shop, in case you need one.

Orleans is quintessential Cape Cod. Great Bayside Beaches. Skaket at sunset was breathtaking.
