Dock wisdom

·

The Dolphin Fleet is the gold standard for whale watches on Cape Cod -- buy tickets online in summer, they sell out daily.

·

Whale season on Stellwagen Bank peaks July through September when humpback bubble-net feeding is active.

·

Kayak rentals from Provincetown: Flyer's Rentals and others on the pier -- call ahead in peak season.

·

The Boston to Provincetown ferry (Bay State Cruises, seasonal) is a spectacular way to arrive for a day trip -- no car needed.
