Provincetown is the perfect place to take a day trip from Boston, Massachusetts.  Visit the Pilgrim Monument and stop for lunch and shopping on Commercial Street.  There are plenty of shops to buy souvenirs and Cabot's Candy Store where you can buy saltwater taffy.

Whale and Seal Watching

This is one of our favorite Cape Cod things to do with the family. Take a boat ride to watch seals off of Monomoy, a wildlife refuge and barrier island that thousands of seals call home. You can also watch whales on a sportfishing boat from Monomoy Island Ferry to see the whales off the east shore of Chatham.
