Tour Cape Cod Lighthouses -- Stay Centrally at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa

noreply@blogger.com (Whalewalk Inn and Spa) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 20:25:00 +0000

Saviors of fishermen, sailors, and whalers, the lighthouses of Cape Cod

guided ships to safety. When planning your vacation, be sure to include the beautiful lighthouses of Cape Cod. The Northern end of the Cape was once spotted with 9 different lighthouses.

A 10 minute drive from the Inn will bring you to Nauset Light. This lighthouse has a red painted top to distinguish it from Chatham and Highland Light.

Continuing towards Nauset High School you will pass the Three Sisters Lighthouses. These three lighthouses were acquired by the National Parks Services, and were moved to their present sight in 1983. Restoration began in 1988. Work was completed in 1989 and they sit 150 feet apart in their original configuration.

Over on the Bay side of Cape Cod, there once stood the Billingsgate Light. Due to erosion that lighthouse no longer exists, but the shoal where it once stood offers great fishing. The Mayo Beach Light has been moved to California, but the foundation still exists at a private home in Wellfleet. There was also the Pamet Light at Snow's Beach, but nothing of it exists today. There isn't even a picture of it.

Traveling up Route 6 in Truro is the Highland Light. Tours are offered daily. The climb up offers amazing views of the Atlantic. It is part of the National Seashore and is an active light in aiding navigation. (Around it sits the first links golf course. Not only do you play golf, but you enjoy many wondrous vistas of the lighthouse and the ocean.)

Following along Route 6, you come next to Race Point Light. This lighthouse is actively used for navigation. The keeper's house and the whistle house have been restored and are available for overnight stays.

Wood End Light is built at the elbow of the sandbar in Provincetown. This lighthouse is fully automated by solar panels and batteries.

Long Point Light is situated at the very tip of Provincetown. The lighthouse works on solar power and the outlying buildings have all been taken down. This light also remains very active in navigation.

There are many great sights where you can plan your own lighthouse tour. So book your room today -- and stay mid-week in September for three nights and check to see which rooms are available for the $40 off per night.

Golf Cape Cod--Eastham, Central to Great Golf Courses

noreply@blogger.com (Whalewalk Inn and Spa) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 20:27:00 +0000

Golfing on Cape Cod offers some unique experiences for both the novice and the fine tuned player. The vistas on some of the Cape courses are truly breathtaking, others take you through woods and over rivers, all the while challenging your abilities.

Brewster is the home of the Captains Golf Course (Port and Starboard) offering 36 holes and voted one of the best public golf courses in the Boston Area. Also, this course challenges the men, but is one of the top 100 women friendly golf courses in the Country. This environmentally friendly course is visually interesting, while still strategically challenging.

For a country club feel, playing at The Chequessett Yacht and Country Club is quite a treat. It is a nine hole course, and4 of those are very challenging (all those water traps). Hole number 3 with the steep incline can wear you down. However, once you are at the top, there is a great vista of Cape Cod Bay -- watching the sailboats from the top of three is worth the climb.

After you finish that 9 you can have lunch at the Bookstore in Wellfleet -- yummy oysters fresh from the Bay and great fish sandwiches. Now that your strength is restored, drive up to Highland Golf Links course, another 9 holes to challenge your techniques. The second hole has a tricky dog leg, but just aim left and you should be fine. Here, too, you have views to die for. Imagine playing with a lighthouse in the background, and then walking up a slight incline and the Atlantic is spread out before your eyes.

If par 3 courses are your favorite, Blue Rock Golf Course has some tricky holes, especially the ones that go over the water. The river must be paved in golf balls. There are some mean sand traps there too, with some large overhangs that get in the way of getting out of the trap. All in all, it is a fun course and can be a confidence booster. (Keeps one coming back to the game.)

Hyannis Golf Club is surrounded by woods, and has some of the best greens around. A lot of the fairways are surrounded on both sides with hills, sometimes to ones advantage and other times -- well, you know!

So take advantage of the beautiful summer weather on Cape Cod and book your room at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa, have a hearty gourmet breakfast, and then enjoy some Cape Cod Golf when you are not communing with nature at the beach.

Cape Cod Hotels -- A Lodging Alternative at The Whalewalk Inn & Spa

noreply@blogger.com (Whalewalk Inn and Spa) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:57:00 +0000

Looking for the perfect place to stay on Cape Cod. Now that you have searched all the hotels on Cape Cod, take a look at our amazing inn on Cape Cod. Relax, rejuvenate, and have a great vacation while staying at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa. We offer everything you would find at a 5 star hotel -- elegance on a quiet country road, but close to all that Cape Cod is famous for. Even the Red Tailed Hawk agrees that this a great place to take a breather from everyday life. Here are 5 great reasons why we offer a superior stay.

You say you need to stay at a hotel to be pampered -- oh, not so! Here at the Inn we serve you a full gourmet breakfast at your own table for two. You can have a pleasant chat or read the paper while enjoying a great cup of coffee and homemade bread. Our entree varies daily alternating between a sweet dish one day (waffles, pancakes, or Granola Pizza), and savory the next (Scrambled Eggs over Portabella Mushrooms, our picnic breakfast of melon, Proscuitto, and egg salad, or Grand Marnier Oatmeal Pie). We always have granola and fruit in place of the entree. Dietary allergies or restrictions are met to the best of our ability.

Cleanliness is at the top of our list. Our linens are washed on property to ensure softness. They are ironed for a crisp look of comfort. The beds are made with two top sheets surrounding the blanket so you are always on a soft sheet. When you come back to your room after breakfast, it is made up for the day. You don't come back to a messy room. It is as nice as the day you arrived.

No matter the weather, you can always keep up with your daily exercise in our Spa. The exercise room is light and airy and conducive to your daily workout. Enjoy the sauna with its dry heat, or the hot tub if you want a little moisture in the air. Swim, rain or shine, in our indoor resistance pool. New this year is Wii Fit. My favorite is the bowling -- only game at which I can beat kids and grand kids. And, if you want the best massage in the world, book one right here at the Inn. Heather or Jan will take great care of you.

We sit on three beautiful acres of lawns, gardens and nature preserve. You can sit on your private deck and see rabbits, birds galore, fox, deer, squirrels, and an occasional coyote lumbering along. Enjoy our gazebo, the front porch of the spa, or stroll along the property and find the bench for a peaceful rest down by the meadow.

Most importantly -- it is amazingly quiet here. The only thing you hear are the song birds trilling, the Bob White saying his name, or the Phoebe Bird calling out hers. Sometimes you will spot a Red Tailed Hawk, often perched on the Spa roof. There is no worry of large trucks zooming down the road to disturb your sleep or the peace of your morning. Your romantic getaway or your summer vacation will be the best ever in any one of our elegant rooms, or in our upscale cottage chic rooms. Our Spa Pent House is the ultimate in luxury awaiting your arrival.

So now that you are convinced, give us a call (508-255-0617 or 800-440-1281), and we will see you at the Inn.

Celebrate Father's Day on Cape Cod -- Fun at the Provincetown International Film Festival, Hyannis Chowdah and Car Show, and Cape Cod League Baseball

noreply@blogger.com (Whalewalk Inn and Spa) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:30:00 +0000

June 14th Kevin and I went to the Annual Cape Cod Maritime Museum Festival. We had a great time exploring the tall ships. We saw the Alabama out of Nantucket and the Peacemaker. Did find out that if you were looking for a great week of vacation at the Whalewalk Inn and have children from the ages of 9 to 16, the Alabama offers a week of sleep-aboard sailing. It sounded like a great vacation for the kids, while you were relaxing here and being pampered at the Inn.

This weekend is the Provincetown International Film Festival. There is a cadre of movies for every one's taste. So come on over and enjoy the fun. If Jazz is your preference, the 5th Annual Provincetown Jazz Festival is August 14-16 at the Provincetown Hight School. The 3rd Annual Provincetown Music Festival is September 19th. Make your reservations and come to the Cape for artistic fun.

Looking for something a little more sporty -- rent kayaks for three hours of fun searching the beaches, marshes and more. Or, rent bicycles or bring your own, and take advantage of the Cape Cod Rail Trail, with its many cut-offs to the most beautiful beaches around. Baseball is at its best. Sit on a grassy knoll and enjoy all the fun. Bring your own peanuts and Cracker Jack and root for the home team's success.

Father's Day offers the Hyannis Main Street Car Show. View over 400 cars. Along with the car show is the annual WCOD Chowdah Fest. Sample chowder from many area restaurants. This event is at the Cape Cod Melody Tent at a cost of $10 per adult.

Some take some time from your busy schedule and join us at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa for relaxation and enjoy all that the Cape has to offer.
