If you're there between the day after Labor Day and Columbus Day, the weather is warm, but the huge tourist crowds are gone!

Be sure to visit the overlook at Nauset Lighthouse for a beautiful view. When you get near Truro, make a side trip to Highland Lighthouse. You can tour it including climbing all the way into the lighthouse lens area.

(I proposed to my wife in the surf below Nauset Lighthouse, so the Cape is a special place for us.)
