We went with two small children and found a couple of short trails we could all enjoy together. The trail designed for the visually impaired actually worked great for my two-year-old, as she could follow the rope along the path to keep her on track.

We stopped by the Visitor Center to obtain some direction before we headed off to see the beaches, lighthouses and walk the Cedar Swamp Trail. The Park Ranger was very knowledgable and provided us with maps and recommendations. The Center is built in a picturesque spot right off of the main road. Stop here before driving through the National Seashore... More

W go back every summer. The museum is great, there's something for everyone. The bookshop has a good selection. We went kayaking in the salt pond and had a wonderful time. The area is beautiful. My favorite beach, we even saw some seals.

We enjoyed the movies that played on and off in the theaters there. Bookstore has several signed copies at times of wonderful Cape Cod tales! The walks are well worth it. Pack a backpack and have snacks on the way!

If you want to learn about the wildlife and the aquatic life of the Cape, this is a must. Kids learn and so do the adults.

We took a November weekend trip to Cape Code with plans for visiting the National Seashore among other things. The Visitor Center was great - movies explaining the sea shore and other facts. Rangers on duty to answer questions, museum dedicated to Indian historical items. And of course an interesting gift shop.
