Guidebook for Barnstable
Food Scene
This is one of my favorite restaurants. Feels like you've walked into The Prancing Pony, right out of the Lord of the Rings. Extraordinary woodland ambience. Leather and barrel staves for seats and seashells lacquered into large cross-cut trunk tables. Celtic ambient music. Good prices. Some ingredients sourced locally.

Parks & Nature
My favorite beach. Residents only during the day, so go after 5pm. Great for sunsets. Has character, it's not just sand.

A big soccer field encircled by a one-third mile paved path. Referenced in the Amenities section of the listing. Great for frisbee, catch, croquet, picnics, etc. There are some more paths into the surrounding woods for the adventurous. Just watch out for ticks. You can get here as the crow flies from my house, using a path that doesn't show up on the maps.

FREE PARKING. But small parking lot, so get here early. Grays Beach is beautiful in itself, but the main attraction is the long boardwalk. The view into the harbor is gorgeous. You'll see crabs and little fish over the side when the tide is in. Sometimes starfish too. There are benches at the end of the boardwalk. This is a great place for a relaxing walk with the breeze and the sun.
