Historic Cemeteries

Hello! I love photographing historic cemeteries and will be visiting Cape Cod for two days in September. I won’t have enough time to go to all the cemeteries on the peninsula I found in my online research (there are so many!), and I was wondering if any locals had recommendations for the most interesting ones?

By interesting, I mean those with unique or very old grave stones or monuments (Victorian era or older), or cemeteries where notable public figures are buried.

In case you’re concerned, I am always respectful of the cemeteries I visit and their gravesites. I disturb nothing and take only photos.

Thank you!

PTown or Barnstable for whales?

I know they both go to the same place but I'm wondering which is more recommended? We are starting out in Dennisport and it's two adults and older elementary kids. I like the idea of Hyannis Whale tour in Barnstable because it's closer driving...but maybe it's worth it to spend the whole day in PTown and go with Dolphin Fleet? We are only on the Cape for three days of free exploring before we have wedding festivities all weekend, so likely doing the whales on Wednesday or Thursday.

Thanks in advance!

Fourth of July before and after

Hello everyone! I’ll be up in the cape the 1-7th! It’s turning out to be a solo trip for me because of the circumstances. Was wondering if anybody had some good ideas?! I’m interested in breakfast spots best dinner spots best sun set spots! Also anybody in their 30s or that age range want to meet up for a drink or lunch?! Also looking for best mini golf! I’ll be staying in Wellfleet as I’ve stayed there the past few years so I know about the drive-in. Also best advice for whale watches? Do always see whales or is that not a 100% chance kind of deal! Thanks again! Hope everyone is ready for a great Fourth of July weekend! Thank you to everyone on the cape that makes it what it is! Cheers Any advice or spots recommendations are very much appreciated.
