Back from 8 days camping in Eastham

[Jim in CT]

Thanks to all here for their recommendations which made the trip more enjoyable. My second time to the Cape (3 years ago we rented a house in Truro). Did a fishing trip with Rich Wood from Nelsons, we all caught a lot of mackerel which was fun, live lined them, had a few knockdowns, my 8 year old caught a bass about 17 pounds which we kept for the grill.

We also did a 2 hour lobster boat cruise with a lobsterman from P-town, that was very cool, he let my 8 year old measure lobsters, put the bands on the claws, and drive the boat, he really felt like a big shot, I cannot recommend that trip enough. Very, very cool.

Ate at a place in Wellfleet Harbor called Macs On The Pier. My favorite food in the world is fried clams, and these were the best I ever had, expensive as hell, but amazing. Also had great food at Savory in Truro (fantastic pizza, grinders, and ice cream), Arnolds and the Lobster Shanty in Eastham.

Favorite beach for the kids was Head Of The Meadow in Truro (waves for the 8 year old, calm pools behind the sand bars for my little guys) Nauset Light and Marconi were very rocky. Was able to scoop up tons of sand eels in a kid's net, my 3 thought that was great.

Campground was Atlantic Oaks in Eastham. Cheap, clean, quietest campground in the world, and a great location, the bike trail cuts right behind it.

Magical place, cannot wait to go back. Maybe 2 weeks next year.
