15% Discount on Cape Cod at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa
The weather on Cape Cod has been absolutely fantastic. It is an amazing summer. You really should come down and take advantage of it. Put your bikes on the bike rack and come on over. Today went to Brewster and saw all the cyclists as we had lunch at El Guapo's, a great little Mexican restaurant right off the bike path. Food was good, the weather just right, and the scenery was the woodsier side of Cape Cod.
Now if you only have one day to spend on the Cape at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa, we have some great one nighters at a 15% discount. OH! and if you happen to have an existing reservation and one of these nights below butts up against your reservation, and you want to extend your vacation, we will give you the 15% discount. The dates and rooms are:
Monday, August 16th in Main Inn Room 4 and Salt Box Cottage;
Saturday, August 21st in Main Inn Rooms 2, 3 and 4; and

Hiking the Many Trails of Cape Cod
"If beaches are Cape Cod's primary draw, its vast acreage of nature preserves and walking trails is a close second. Hiking or walking is an excellent and virtually cost-free way to see the geographic splendor and diversity of Cape Cod up close.
Cape Cod Pathways is the name of a network of trails across the Cape. It is constantly being expanded and when complete, will extend from Provincetown to Falmouth and Bourne and provide a connection between the seashore and the Cape's wooded interior.
On the Cape Cod Commission's website, you'll find a map showing 106 public walking trails along with descriptions of the trails, pictures, and links for more information about each. Of the 104 trails, 36 are within 1.5 miles of a public transportation route stop on Cape Cod."
Some of her favorites are:
"South Beach in Chatham, an area that has undergone extensive change since a storm-induced breach in North Beach in 1987.
Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail in Wellfleet, a cool, mossy 1.25-mile loop in stunted oak and pine woods with a boardwalk through a cedar swamp.
Be sensible when you walk: Wear a hat and take sunscreen, water, and mosquito repellent."

Make your reservations today at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa and enjoy the many great hiking and biking trails along the Cape.

Cape Cod -- 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!
