Day One: Bum around the beach

Morning

Start your adventure at AutoCamp Cape Cod and get ready for major seaside charm from our quiet perch on the Cape. The salty air is basically an unpaid actor in your relaxation story. Kickstart your explorations with complimentary granola and coffee in our Clubhouse.

Looking for something more? You’ll love breakfast selections (and the cute, quaint vibe!) of West Falmouth Market, where you can also grab sandwiches, snacks and bevs to-go for your big day on the beaches.

Day One

Afternoon

Get things going with a short drive to Old Silver Beach overlooking the Falmouth Cliffs or Woodneck Beach, where you’ll find a sand, rock, and pebble beach overlooking the bay, with lifeguards & restrooms. Both beaches offer the opportunity to dip your toes in the Atlantic and let the waves do what they do best—get you in the adventure state of mind. In either choice, now’s the time to break out those deli sandwiches, catch some sun, and enjoy what you came to the Cape for.

Looking for a local’s secret? Find your way to Black Beach.

Day One

Evening

After a reset back at AutoCamp Cape Cod, where you might lounge (nap!) in a hammock, play games on the lawn or cuddle up with a book in the Clubhouse, it’s time for dinner.

Make your way into Falmouth, and you’ve got options–Osteria La Civetta (The Little Owl) for authentic Italian food, wine and hospitality, highlighting local ingredients, or Asti for modern Greek recipes and coal-fired pizzas.

You might grab a nightcap at Shipwrecked Waterfront Restaurant & Bar, or Liam Maguire’s if you’re looking for classic Irish fare, live music and beers on tap at this relaxed pub.

Back at AutoCamp, pick up s’mores and gather ‘round the communal fire pit. Live music adds to the glow, while you form new bonds over golden (or charred) marshmallows.

Day Two: Shining Sea sightseeing

Morning

Wake up with the sunrise (or whenever your internal vacation clock allows) and grab complimentary coffee and granola in the Clubhouse. Stretch it out with a morning yoga session, led by a local instructor who’ll have you feeling centered and ready to explore. Once you’re loosened up, hop on one of AutoCamp’s complimentary bikes powered by RideAway Adventures.

Rentals are available from 9am-5pm daily, and rentals need to be returned by 8pm.

Bike rentals must be pre-reserved, either by visiting this link or calling 508-247-0827.

Now hit the Shining Sea Bikeway and head south. You’ll cruise past salt marshes, sand dunes, and postcard-worthy views on this 6 mile, flat bike ride.

If you could use a second breakfast, Cape Cod Bagel is serving up morning cravings just 1.5 miles into the ride and just off of the bike path.

Day Two

Afternoon

Next stop on the tour de Cape: Woods Hole. Stay south on the bike path through downtown, by the bustling harbor town where science meets gorgeous scenery. Put your thinking cap on and check out the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Ocean Science Discovery Center to learn about the scientists and engineers who found and explored the Titanic’s historic wreckage. While in Woods Hole, you might also pop into local shops, and refuel with lunch at Landfall Restaurant, a delicious waterfront spot constructed from ship-salvaged wood, or Pie in the Sky with scratch-made baked goods and house-roasted coffee. You’re gonna want to order all the delights that you can fit on the table, trust us.

Day Two

Evening

It’s time to enjoy the golden hour bike ride back to AutoCamp–but don’t rush! Take your time to stop at Fay Beach or Falmouth Beach for a relaxing view of the sound along the way, or take a walk through the Salt Pond Bird Sanctuaries (remember to lock up your bikes).

Once you’re back at camp, wind down your way. Crank up your personal fire pit and toss on a grill kit for an easy dinner, or grab a bottle of wine and walk to Woodneck Beach for sunset drinks, stroll down to a gorgeous view overlooking Quissett Harbor. When the sun has set, settle back by the campfire for a round of stargazing.

Day Three: Embark on final Cape adventures

Morning

Ease into your last day with brunch in downtown Falmouth. Anejo Mexican Bistro is a local favorite—snag a sunny patio seat and go big with tuna tostada sliders and a raspberry mojito. Unless, of course, margaritas are your thing—in which case you have to try theirs.

If you still haven’t had your fair share of seafood pop up to Bourne to visit Lobster Trap Restaurant & Fish Market, a casual go-to that knocks it out of the park every time.

Day Three

Afternoon

From here, it’s your call:

Book a whale-watching tour off the coast with Hyannis Whale Watcher Cruises to hopefully catch a glimpse at the gentle giants of the Atlantic. Bonus points if you spot a shark!

Get adventurous with RideAway’s Kayak Tours out of Mashpee on the Popponesset Bay, or Sandwich on the Great Marsh and Lawrence Pond. From introductory relaxing paddles to more advanced experiences on open waters, they’ve got you covered.

Venture to Sandwich to walk the boardwalk, explore Heritage Museum and Gardens, and grab a beer at Tree House Brewing Company.

Explore shaded forest trails and some of the best Buzzards Bay views from Beebe Woods.

Grab a cone at Ben & Bills Chocolate Emporium in downtown Falmouth. Three words for you: lobster ice cream. When on the Cape, right?

Day Three

Evening

After a relax and reset, end your unforgettable trip to the Cape with more core memories–a short 25 minute drive to Mashpee comes with small-batch brews, good food, lake-side vibes, live music and fun-for-all at Naukabout Brewing. You can check out upcoming happenings on their calendar here. Once you’ve shared a Naukabout Beer in commemoration, cultivation and celebration of once-in-a-lifetime moments, s’mores kits are calling your name back at AutoCamp Cape Cod. Who can resist an ooey, gooey, perfectly toasted marshmallow? Not us.
