Clam Shacks located near the Carriage House Inn, part II


Here are a couple more of our favorite Clam Shacks near the our Cape Cod Inn.

Sesuit Harbor Cafe- Dennis – Located on the northern part of the Cape off of 6A on Sesuit Harbor and Cape Cod Bay, the Sesuit Harbor CafĂ© is a wonderful funky spot tucked behind a few boatyards. It is a little difficult to find but the reward of fabulous food makes the trek worthwhile. You order at the counter and then go sit at one of the numerous picnic tables out side along the harbor. There usually is a fair amount of boating activity to kick back and watch while waiting for your food. The lobster rolls are outstanding. The seafood is perfectly cooked as well.They also operate a lobster bake cruise www.lobsterrollcruise.com . It is BYOB – Open May 10,
2010 Breakfast and Lunch, May 28, 2010 Dinner


Liam’s Clam Shack
– Located right on Nauset beach only 18 minutes up the road in Orleans has a large and varied menu that caters to the many beachgoers in the Summer. It focuses heavily on seafood with excellent fried or broiled seafood platters and some of the best onion rings around. It can get very busy at lunch time in season but it is also open for dinner and that is a nice quiet time to head to the beach and grab a nice casual dinner and relax on the picnic tables that are a stones throw from Nauset Beach. One of my favorite things to get at Liams are their Onion Rings and their fried clams. Liams opens May 29th weekends only until mid June.

Water View Wallks from a Cape Cod Bed and Breakfast


When you leave our Chatham Inn you can take an absolutely breath taking walk right from the Carriage House Inn’s front door. You head left down Old Harbor Road and immediately there are sweeping views of the harbor and the gorgeous houses tucked behind immaculate hedges on the hill above the waterfront. As you head down the hill there is a home right before you turn right on to Cow Yard Lane that in early spring literally is blooming with hundreds of daffodils in the lawn and gardens, it is a glorious field of yellow. Mid May brings honeysuckle bushes along the walk that scent the air with a subtle sweet scent. When you head down cow yard you are likely to see a fisherman in waders trying to find dinner or a kayaker headed out for a relaxing paddle. Once you reach the harbor you turn right and walk along the sandy path along the water viewing the lobster boats coming and going, the now famous current cut and the rear side of some stately homes. One keeps walking until you reach the Chatham Fish Pier where you can visit and rest on the pier’s observation deck, or if you are hungry you can grab a cup of chowder or a lobster roll from the Chatham Fish Pier. To head back to the Inn you walk along Shore Road where you get water views in between the million dollar homes that line the street. The entire walk takes about 35-40 minutes and it is just lovely and refreshing and best of all free!
