SPRING IS HERE

Although there still is a bit of chill in the air, nevertheless the sun is out shininh bright on Cape Cod and SPRING is officially here today on March 20, 2013. Besides saying goodbye to the cold days, snow and putting away the heavy sweaters and bulky jackets, the start of Spring on Cape Cod brings along the start of many events & activities to look forward too. In Spring the scenery can be just as stunning as summertime, and there are plenty of fun things to do and places to dine and shop.
 
 
A few places opening in Spring:
 
There’s just something so beachside summer vacation about mini-golf. Cape Cod has scads of courses and Pirate’s Cove is one of the most popular with its splashing water falls and sculpted ‘mountains’.Children between the ages of 3-10 are the perfect age for this thrillseeking, treasure hunting voyage into Hyannis Harbor. Once aboard the Sea Gypsu every child will be transformed into an official member of the Sea Gypsy Crew. With painted faces and donned sashes your little mate will be ready for adventure aboard our working pirate ship. The Activity is nonstop, with flags to hoist , water cannons to blast, and maps to read, there is no time for lolligagin!Take your kids on an old-fashioned, swashbuckling adventure they’ll be spinning yarns about for years to come, Open Memorial Day. 728 Route 28, South Yarmouth; 508-394-6200 or 508-394-5252.
Already in existence when the Cape Cod National Seashore was created, Art’s was grandfathered and they’re now the only ones allowed to drive in several protected Provincetown beach areas. Take the one hour tour along the coast and into the spectacular dunes or go with the sunset tour or a clambake, a lighthouse tour or a surf-fishing tour. Rates start at $25 for adults and $17 for kids. Offered mid-April through Halloween. Visit www.artsdunetours.com for details. 4 Standish St., Provincetown; 508-487-1950.
Sure, the Cape is known for its exceptional seafood, but wine? This local vineyard proves that our sandy peninsula has got the goods to both dine and wine. Several varietals, ranging from Nobska Red (a Cabernet blend) to a delicious Cranberry Chardonnay, are produced from the estate-grown grapes. Stop in any time for tastings, May through December, or a tour of the winery on Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. in the summer months. 681 Sandwich Rd., East Falmouth; 508-457-5592.
Anybody will be sure to enjoy a ride aboard this traveling ode to history. Trips range from the two-hour scenic excursion to the three-hour elegant dinner train.

At the seven-acre Cedar Spring Herb Farm (159 Long Pond Rd., Harwich; 508-430-4372), you can wander the organic herb gardens and winding woodland trails, or browse the small shop featuring homemade herbal remedies, skin products, fragrances and teas. The farm is open May to November, Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For a different sort of experience, visit the Cape Cod Lavender Farm (Island Pond Trail, Harwich; 508-432-8397). This is the largest lavender farm on the East Coast and consists of some 14,000 plants, which combine to spread a wonderful aroma over the area when the flowers bloom in June and July.
The Pilgrims first landed in the New World in 1620 at Provincetown, as this 252 foot-tall granite tower so loftily reminds us. Join the millions who have climbed the 116 steps to the top for an incredible view of Provincetown, Cape Cod Bay and the Cape Cod National Seashore. A museum at the base of the monument offers exhibits about building the monument and Provincetown history. Open daily, April through November. Admission: $7 for adults; $5 for seniors and students; $3.50 for children. One High Pole Hill Rd., Provincetown; 508-487-1310.

Food and water are also readily available and public restrooms can be found at Nickerson State Park, Salt Pond Visitors Center at Cape Cod National Seashore and the National Seashore Headquarters.

    Hurricane Sandy on Cape Cod

    Cape Cod was battered by high winds and a strong coastal surge on Monday morning as Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey. As of early Monday afternoon nearly 20,000 Cape Codders were without power, The noon high tide brought severe beach erosion to Falmouth and the east facing beaches on the Outer Cape.Later in the day, Nstar reported nearly 38,000 customers without power with the towns of Barnstable and Falmouth being the hardest hit communities. We were very lucky through this one though, as the Lighthouse Inn seemed to have came out unscathed through it all. As the waves crashed against West Dennis Beach and Weir Creek crossed over Lighthouse Road, thankfully only minimal damage was experienced in the immediate area. As for some of our neighboring towns, unfortunately flooded roads from the tide, fallen branches, damage to ramps, houses and structures along with the overwhelming amount of power outages, proved to be a ominous way to bring in Halloween on Cape Cod. However, as Governor Deval Patrick said today he was relieved that the state escaped serious damage from Hurricane Sandy, stating“We are very, very fortunate indeed. ” Reliefs efforts to those affected by the Hurricane specifically in New Jersey and New York continue.
