[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on my one trip there, I will say, that I found Cape Cod to be:

Way too expensive.   (10K for a small house in Chatham)
Beautiful.
Water too cold to swim in.
Snooty.  My snootiest Aunt goes every year.  Preppy heaven.
Too far from DC for me to visit regularly.

What do you think about Cape Cod?[/quote]

Not diverse enough
Water too cold 
I agree that it is too expensive for what you get.  There are much better options in Florida and in California.    I can rent places in  Florida and California with better amenities.  Some of those rental homes in Cape Cod are really crappy for what you get.  You pay Four Seasons price tag, but you get the Motel 8.  My home is better than many of the rental homes there.  When I go on vacation I want something better amenities than my home not less.  
Restaurants and food quality are not that appealing.  If you like bland, then I guess it is okay.  There is nothing that stands out compared to what I cook at home.

Also, it is quite boring!  Basically, everything that there is to do there my family does here at home.  Do not get me wrong it is a beautiful and quaint place.  However, it lacks way too many things for my family to return.   My children love the beaches in California, Florida, Mexico, the Caribbean, and in Europe.  Cape Cod just does not cut it for us.  It definitely is no La Jolla.

I know I am going to get harassed here for stating this.  :mrgreen: Cape Cod is so overrated and I do not understand the appeal.     [/quote]

I've been going there since I was a toddler and still love it. I never get tired of it. There are still things I'd like to do that I haven't. We have a family home so it makes a difference. It's too crowded now, so happy people are considering other areas. The sharks are a huge drawback too. There used to not be so many. Another mess up in the ecosystem due to pollution I'm sure.[/quote]

The reasons sharks are coming closer to shore is because of the dramatic increase in the seal population, as a result of a 1970s law that prohibits the hunting of seals. It has resulted in lower fish population (due to seals eating all fish) too. [/quote]
