[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I live outside of Boston and at the Cape now.  Use to live in DC.   DH from NJ and have been to jersey shore often.  Have never been to east coast beaches farther south than NJ but have been to tons of beaches on west coast and elsewhere.

So my 2 cents is that it makes total sense to go to the cape in summer if you live around Boston.  (It’s 90 or so minutes away!!).  And there is a ton to do - less with Covid but still, beaches, rivers, kayaking/paddle boarding,
Fishing, ponds galore.  Yes, sharks (my son caught a small one on a Fishing trip last year) but just heed the warnings and don’t swim too deep.   Yes, the water cold but it’s refreshing (and do you really swim in the ocean??? I just dip in, jump over a few waves and I’m done). Food fairly decent.  Not the best, but yes, there are good hoagies.  All in all, a fairly decent place to spend an east coast summer vacation.

Now, if we still lived in DC would we make the trek? Probably not. We’d stick with DE (althoughy never been) or the jersey shore.  But for people who live in Boston the proximity of Cape Cod cannot be beat!!

It is difficult to explain facts such as these, to people who live 3+ hours from sub par ocean, and think OBX is "having arrived" PP. Thanks for the effort, I agree with you - but it is all perspective.  I think the most amusing part is when people troll with past DCUM post tidbits and Google search randomness - so obvious.

Jersey gets a bad rap, but most of the Jersey shore (NOT the boardwalk part - there is more to beach choices than boardwalk or OBX, but you PP already know this) is gorgeous!  I am envious of you being so close to great beaches, OP - it would be so much nicer than the swamp summer in D.C.[/quote]
