Cape Cod's Outer Cape, from Chatham up through Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown, faces the open Atlantic along the Cape Cod National Seashore, where the beaches back onto high sand bluffs. The bay side, from Sandwich to Brewster, is calmer and warmer, with tidal flats that run out half a mile at low water. Rentals are mostly shingled houses and cottages booked Saturday to Saturday in July and August; June and September have the same beaches with room to park.
