Cape Cod and Nantucket Spa Getaways for “Shoulder Season”

Summer on the Cape is a time-honored getaway celebrated by friends, families, and loved ones. The Cape is 20 miles at its widest point and completely surrounded by water: Cape Cod Bay on the north, Buzzards Bay on the west, Vineyard and Nantucket Sounds on the south and the Atlantic Ocean on the east. Countless historic sites and landmarks tell the proud role that Cape Cod has played in American history. Cape Cod, Provincetown, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket — these destinations each evoke the quintessential ideal of a beach town vacation or a romantic seaside getaway. The summer weather is perfect for boating, swimming, and sunning and there are dozens of events planned for family fun. But, with popularity comes tourist demand and with demand comes seasonal high rates and difficulty booking your restaurant inns, restaurants, and spas.

It’s time to think about visiting these beautiful destinations in the so-called “Shoulder Season” — March, April, September and October. Shoulder season comes right between the high prices of peak season and the unpredictable or less ideal weather of the low season. Not only are the rates more affordable, the population decreases, and several wonderful festivals, activities and events remain on the calendar. These months — post-Memorial Day and prior to the chilly season that November brings — are a beautiful time to visit for a Cape Cod and Nantucket Spa Vacation.

Visiting the Cape and Nantucket in September and October brings cooler temperatures (especially in the evenings), a new calendar of festivals, and many of the island’s top restaurants and spas are still welcoming visitors at more manageable rates.
