Orleans is situated on the lower Cape next to Chatham, Brewster, Harwich and Eastham. It is also a short drive to the National Seashore and a forty minute drive to Provincetown. This would be an easy and fun day trip to take. You are in the HEART of Cape Cod. Orleans is the BEST place to stay. You have both bayside and oceanside beaches, lakes and are right near the bike trails that will offer hours of exercise and exploration. There is shopping, unbelievable restaurants, theatres, concerts, art exhibits, sport fishing trips & many local attractions. Nickerson State Park is a 5 minutes drive where there is so much to explore. Swim at Flax or Cliff Pond, take a guided hike, see a live animal exhibit or use the bike trails throughout!

Getting around is easiest by car although you can certainly bike anywhere. there are sidewalks and the Cape Cod Rail Trails that connects Dennis, MA to Wellfleet. I, myself, have biked from Plymouth to Provincetown before! there are shuttle buses for public transportation.
