Weekend Getaway: Orleans, Mass.
Continue

Nestled in the crook of Cape Cod, the town of Orleans, Massachusetts, is the perfect place for a relaxing weekend. It’s a short drive to many of the Cape’s other seaside towns, so after a quiet afternoon on Nauset Beach,you can go to Hyannis to wander the shops and restaurants on Main Street. Whatever you do, be sure to catch at least one sunset from Orleans’ Rock Harbor (and bring bug spray, too).
