We went to Cape Cod for 2 days last summer, and I wouldnt go there again. Basically there are alot of beaches and boating places etc, however we found it very boring.
My husband does not enjoy sitting at the beach and relaxing and other than relaxing and going around to some local attractions we found that there was nothing much to do there. We went with another couple who basically expected to just have fun, (with there 1 yr old kvetchy daughter) and since it was more of a relaxed place they complained about it non stop, I think that it just added to my disliking of the place, I however was just happy to spend time with my husband and baby.

However my SIL and her family spent a full week there and loved it. She said they went swimming every day, made a bbq at night, sat on the beach and just relaxed.

So I guess it really depends on what your sister is interested in doing there. Also if you want a nice hotel, you have to book on the outskirts of Cape Cod, we only found Motels in Cape Cod itself. There are some water parks and better attractions, (whale watching) outside of Cape Cod as well which we didnt go to. (since nothing was good enough for this other couple we went with anyway)

Thanks for your response.
They wont be going with any children so that shouldnt be an issue.
Also, I dont think they have a problem just chilling out and doing nothing.
THanks,
any other experiences?

My family (parents and siblings) go to Cape Cod almost every summer. I've been many times and had wonderful experiences. It's fun, not too expensive, there's no frum "scene" like in florida or something, and we've always had a great time. It isn't the most exciting place in the world, but if you enjoy chilling out, enjoying the water, bike riding etc. it's the perfect place. I don't know anything about hotels, we always rented a house, even if it's just you and your dh you might be able to find some cute little place I know my parents once did that. In terms of beaches, with most of them if you walk a bit you can find a private place. Also the beaches are pretty tame, no parties or anything especially during the week. Hope I helped!

Biking, beachcombing if you can find a quiet spot, swimming if it fits your hashkafa, mini golfing, Plimouth plantation (reenactment of colonial times), visiting art studios, driving up to Boston for the sightseeing and activities there.

Whale-watching, tons of mini golf and bumper boat and go-kart places, free potato chip factory tour and (kosher) samples, boat to Marsha's Vineyard which is fun to explore, jet ski rentals, relaxing on a private beach (pretty easy to find).
