Orleans Travel Guide

 ForestqueenNYC Says:  The beach is about a mile from the bed and breakfast, Academy Place, in which I stayed. Nauset Beach is right on the Atlantic Ocean and is part of the National Seashore which means it is open to the public. There is a fee for parking.You are allowed to use your boogie boards... 

 RekaD Says:  Arrive early in the morning and walk the beach at sunrise. Or bring the whole crew and spend the day lounging on the sand. Or come by around dinner-time and have a picnic on the beach. Nauset is beautiful any time of day.If you do plan on spending the day in the dead of...

 jbel2879 Says:  I actually think that the Cottage Street Bakery may be the closest thing to pure perfection that I can think of. It's a snug, wallpapered bakery that makes some of the best muffins, pastries, and cakes on earth. They even offer breakfast in the morning. Everyone realizes... 

 SeaBreezeUSA Says:  I had the fish and chips and my wife had the Seafood Medley. The kids dined on chicken fingers and of course we had cheesecake!! It was an excellent meal, with great atmosphere and good company. The waiters were prompt, courteous, and really cared about us. I highly...
