[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the poster from the other Cape Cod thread.  Thanks for all the input.  We've found a property which would work for us which is by the beach but also in a village so walkable to restaurants/coffee shops/shops, the island ferries, whale cruises etc.

For those (or others) who said not to go in May (it would be the very end of May/early June) - is that because we wouldn't get a beach holiday at that time of year, in the sense of lying on the beach, sunbathing and swimming?

Would you not go at all?  We are a mixed generation of (active) grandparents down to two babies under 6 months.  I'm thinking that walking on the beach with toddlers, a visit to Martha's vineyard, eating seafood, visiting other villages, watching the beach sunsets, grilling outside on the deck etc would all be enjoyable at that time of year, even if we are not sunbathing all day on the beach.  Or would we be genuinely cold doing all that?  I have looked up average temperatures and can see it isn't super hot but the temps seem mild and I imagine there is always a risk of rain even in the height of summer.

What do you think?

(We can't change the dates so would have to think of a completely different location if this doesn't seem sensible.  We don't want to do the Outer Banks or Charleston/Savannah area as we have been there before.  [b]Cape Cod also tied in with extended family's plans to visit NYC. [/b] But I don't want to go ahead if it really wouldn't work).[/quote]

So why not do the hamptons? There will be more to see and do and it's prettier.  Also may be a little warmer. [/quote]
