The 4th of July is the real start of summer on Cape Cod. We sometimes have cool cloudy weather well into June, so we anxiously await Julys more dependable summer weather. It was here in full measure this past weekend.
Fireworks courtesy of Oyster Harbors Club over Cotuit Bay on Saturday night-we watched from our boat in the harbor and it was spectacular. Cotuit beaches were full of observers, and because it is not publicized, there are few traffic issues and many view spots. Sunday was a play day for many-in the boat, on the beach, loads of year round and summer people hiking, biking and just hanging around Cotuit village and Loop Beach in Cotuit. If you want a total escape from any crowds on July 4, venture to Marstons Mills-just across Rt. 28-where you live enjoying the summer, but not impacted by the summer rush. Loaded with freshwater swimming and boating lakes, young families especially enjoy these beaches-typically uncrowded.

If you have ever dreamed of owning a primary or second home or vacation home on Cape Cod, the opportunities have never been better.
