Top 10 Things to Do on Cape Cod in April (Easter + Spring Break)

April on Cape Cod means Easter egg hunts and brunches, the Brewster in Bloom daffodil festival, school-break outings to the Whydah Pirate Museum, and trout fishing at Crystal Lake in Orleans.

Spring break, the Cape Cod way. Here is how April fills up.

1. Easter on the Cape. Egg hunts and Easter brunches across town make the holiday easy away from home.
2. School break at the Whydah Pirate Museum, West Yarmouth. Real treasure from a real pirate shipwreck. Kids are transfixed.
3. Junior Ranger badges at Salt Pond Visitor Center, Eastham. The National Seashore's program turns a visit into a mission.
4. Orleans Arts Week. Galleries, studios, and performances across town in the third week of April.
5. Brewster in Bloom. The daffodil festival that turns Route 6A gold. Don't miss it.
6. Earth Day cleanup at the National Seashore. Give a morning back to the beaches that give you everything else.
7. Trout fishing at Crystal Lake, Orleans. Freshly stocked in spring. Cast away.
8. Coffee and breakfast at Jo Mama's, Orleans. Worth the stop every single morning.
9. Tennis and pickleball at Eldredge Park, Orleans. Public courts in the prettiest park in town.
10. PB Boulangerie croissant runs, Wellfleet. A French bakery at the end of a pine road. Ooh la la.

And when spring break the Cape Cod way sounds right, come stay with us. The house sleeps 10, the game room earns its keep on rainy days, and Easter week here is easier than hosting at home. Check your dates whenever you're ready.
