Restaurant Recommendations
Top rated lobster roll in Massachusetts. Excellent clam chowder as well. Good ice cream shop on first floor. Would suggest putting your name in (requesting a table upstairs on the patio) before you're ready for dinner and they will call you when your table is ready - typically an hour or two wait.

Closest beach to the house. Walk down Cape Isle Drive, take a right on Pawkannawkut and walk straight ahead through the gate (neighborhood has an easement to walk through). Once you are through the parking lot you will be on the beach.
Red Jacket Beach Resort
1 South Shore DriveClosest beach to the house. Walk down Cape Isle Drive, take a right on Pawkannawkut and walk straight ahead through the gate (neighborhood has an easement to walk through). Once you are through the parking lot you will be on the beach.
Take the kayaks (along with lifejackets) and paddle towards the ocean - take the first right will lead you to Lewis Pond. Don't paddle in the pond since it gets super shallow. Clamming is popular on Sundays at low tide - would need to get an individual permit with the town to participate (but fun to watch).

Can take kayaks over here as well (make sure to pull up on sand). First beach on right side when you enter ocean (Nantucket Sound). Parking can fill up and be expensive here in the summer.
