As the sea breeze returns and the flowers begin to bloom, there’s no better time to welcome you back to Cape Cod than May 1st, our official opening day for the 2025 season! This year is particularly meaningful as we proudly celebrate 12 incredible seasons of hosting travelers at the Old Manse Inn in beautiful Brewster, MA.
Whether you’re a returning guest or considering your first visit, this is your chance to rediscover why Cape Cod in the springtime is one of the most special destinations in New England—and why the Old Manse Inn is the perfect place to call your home away from home.
Why Cape Cod in the Spring Is Pure Magic
Cape Cod has long been a beloved escape for beach lovers, antique hunters, foodies, and adventurers. Spring adds an extra layer of magic with quieter streets, fewer crowds, and all the charm Cape Cod is known for.
Here’s why you should pack your bags and head to Brewster this spring:
🌅 Breathtaking Beaches for Sunrise and Sunset
One of Cape Cod’s most iconic features is its shoreline, where sunrises and sunsets are nothing short of spectacular. On the bay side, Brewster beaches like Paine’s Creek, Breakwater Beach, and Crosby Landing are renowned for golden-hour beauty, especially during low tide. For early risers, a sunrise at Nauset Beach in nearby Orleans is unforgettable.
Whether you’re strolling hand-in-hand, meditating solo, or snapping that perfect photo, Cape Cod’s coastal magic will leave you in awe.
🕰️ The Best Antique Shopping Around
Cape Cod is a treasure trove for antique enthusiasts, and Route 6A—the scenic corridor running right through Brewster—is lined with charming antique shops. Don’t miss:
Yankee Ingenuity (Chatham) – full of quirky vintage finds and art
Antiques Center of Yarmouth – a multi-dealer marketplace
Wisteria Antiques (Brewster) – classic and coastal-themed pieces
These shops make spring the perfect time to discover one-of-a-kind items and coastal keepsakes.
