Nothing says nautical life quite like Cape Cod. In West Yarmouth, the air is perfectly crisp, the seawater salty, and the attitude friendly and relaxed. It's the spirit of the sea, brought to life in a charming village that makes up the town of Yarmouth. Dating back centuries, it's an area that marries history with modernity, something you'll quickly understand when you spot old-world homes settled alongside antique boutiques and souvenir shops. Of course, if you love seafood you'll need to nosh on some while gazing at the waterÑit's really the only way to "do" West Yarmouth.
A family-friendly coastal treasure, Cape Cod Inflatable Park is a theme park unlike any other. It's filled with a combination of wet and dry inflatables, like slides and bounce houses. Just as fun is the Wild Animal Lagoon, where you'll play miniature golf alongside oversized hippo, giraffe, and other wildlife sculptures. If you're inspired by the seafarer's way of life, pay a visit to The Edward Gorey House and learn all about the originalÑa sea captain whose legacy is honored within the hallowed rooms of this living history museum.
