The general scutlebutt with the shopkeepers and restaurant owners is that last week’s school vacation was a pretty good start to the 2009 Cape Cod tourist season.
We gradually ramp up for the summer tourist season on Cape Cod with the February and April school vacation weeks. St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, Easter Weekend, and Patriot’s Day all contribute to our early Spring tourist pop as well. But during this time, we become a sleepy little region immediately thereafter.
So if you want a quieter Cape Cod and don’t have children, you might want plan your visit for times other than the above. If you do, you’ll find lots of parking spaces, little traffic, and never have to stand in line!
