Enjoy the 'off season' on Cape Cod

Winter can be very special on Cape Cod. It is time for quiet walks along isolated walking paths and empty (of human company) beaches. There is lots to love about the opportunities to reflect amid the sunny cloudless days overlooking saltwater AND freshwater bodies of water. Just Saturday, I sat at Loop Beach in Cotuit on Cape Cod, and as others were walking and picking up shells and small items pushed up onto the beach, I opened up my sun roof to my car and enjoyed the pleasure of a warm sun heated car, with fresh air and small ocean waves lapping the shore as music to my ears.

It was Christmas in Cotuit day-Santa arrived by boat at the Cotuit Town Dock, there was a very nice Craft Fair with local artisans and crafters at Freedom Hall, gift shop was open at the Cotuit Historical Society and the Cahoon Museum. A great early winter day, with temperatures that invited a walk in the woods or at the beach.

There are many more year round residents in Cotuit, I think because of the milder days, and the beauty of winter. As a Realtor who lives in Cotuit, I am always pleased to have the chance to 'show off' our village and the other villages in Barnstable and the Cape to folks who might consider relocating here as year round residents or as second home or vacation home owners. Enjoy these photos I took while walking one of my favorite seaside trails here on Cape Cod.
