👥 Locals are already signing up — don’t miss your spot on the Founding List.
What are we celebrating?
We’re celebrating everything that makes the Lower Cape worth bragging about — and living here even better. The places, the people, the tiny treasures, the music, the hidden gems, the events you usually hear about too late — all bundled into one weekly, local-first, community-powered newsletter.
The heroes behind the Harwich Food Pantry Bash
The not-on-the-menu specials at The Rail in Orleans
The first signs of spring at the Stony Brook Grist Mill Herring Run — before the crowds show up
That’s what we’re celebrating — the real Lower Cape.
👀 Think You Know the Lower Cape?
Let’s put that to the test…You probably know about Skaket Beach sunsets and Chatham fried clams.
But do you know:
🌸 When the Punkhorn Parklands are in full bloom and only locals are on the trails
🐟 Where to catch the herring run at Stony Brook Grist Mill without the selfie-stick crowd
🎭 Which weekend the Brewster in Bloom Parade returns to town (Hint: first weekend of May)
🌯 That locals swing by Corner Store (Chatham) early in the season for burritos — before the summer lines start
🏄♂️ Or that the best spot for a quiet paddleboard is Jackknife Cove… if you go before Memorial Day hits?
If you don’t — you’re about to.
And if you do — now you can be the first to share the scoop.
🎯 What’s Inside the Newsletter?
This isn’t mass-produced fluff from Boston.
It’s not “Top 5 Beaches” articles written by someone who’s never set foot in Harwich. And yes — you’ll see some carefully selected local business shoutouts and community sponsor ads...
Because that’s what supporting the Lower Cape actually means.
Here’s what you’ll really get:
✅ Secret restaurant gems & fresh food finds
Like the off-menu Lobster BLT at The Rail (Orleans) — if you know to ask — and the beloved off-season raw bar nights at Del Mar (Chatham).
✅ Live music & local events you’ll wish you heard about sooner
From the Orleans Farmers Market’s spring outdoor reopening to under-the-radar trivia nights at the Chatham VFW.
✅ Seasonal mini-guides
Example: 5 Spring Walks to Beat the Crowds featuring Nickerson State Park & Kent’s Point.
✅ Local nonprofit & community spotlights
The people quietly making a difference behind the scenes.
✅ Quick Cape Cod trivia & word games
Perfect for when you’re stuck in line at Brewster’s Dunkin’ drive-thru.
✅ Community shoutouts you only hear in small-town coffee shops.
