Whale of a time
Seeking aquatic adventures? Cape Cod’s Wequassett Resort has boatloads. Wequassett Resort & Golf Club Cape Cod, Massachusetts, may be the setting of endless contemporary romance reads, but it’s also chock-full of child-friendly delights.
Set up shop at Wequassett Resort & Golf Club, on the aptly named Pleasant Bay. From here, you and your tiny tagalongs can embark on seal and harbor tours, whale watching, fishing excursions, kayaking jaunts and sunset sails before wind down time.
On May 2 and 30 and June 14 the property will host Orvis Saltwater Fly Fishing School, designed for anglers of all abilities. In June, naturalists from Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary will lead weekly, on-site bird-watching walks for young ornithologists, as you spy birds of all stripes (feathers?) and learn about Pleasant Bay’s role as a key migratory flyway.
On Tuesdays in July and August, backyard biologists can hop aboard the floating classroom to explore the bay in a solar-powered vessel.
Be sure to reserve one night for dining at Twenty-eight Atlantic, a waterfront haunt housed in an 18th-century sea captain’s home.
