I cruised up to Cape Cod last weekend for sand, surf and time well spent with my best friends. What a city escape. Quiet blue skies, crashing waves, good wine, dinner parties at home and sunset cocktails on a Woods Hole dock overlooking the Elizabeth Islands.

We walked to Falmouth’s Surf  Drive Beach, kayaked Old Silver Beach, and took an easy ride into town.

Just when you think the day can’t get any better on Cape Cod, the view keeps happening well into the evening.
