With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Popponesset Beach, 40 miles away, has to offer. Cotuit Center for the Arts, Cape Cod Children’s Museum and Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve alone justify the drive out here. Don’t forget about Manomet Beach either! Just 35 miles away, Plimoth Plantation, Pinehills Golf Club and Plymouth Farmers’ Market are essential stops here.
