Southcoast Tourist Traps

Really just...underwhelming.  Can't even tell you how many of my out of town friends have complained, "Seriously?  That's IT?"

We're big fans, but out of town visitors will be disappointed to find out that you can really just visit the gift shop unless you have booked an overnight stay or a paid tour.

Tourists (who tend to be land lubbers) have a tendency to enjoy some good old fashioned sea sickness.  If losing your lunch overboard isn't your thing...you may want to think twice.  If your boat is lucky enough to see a whale, you might be laying down on one of the benches on the boat.

It's the oldest carousel in America (dating back to 1876).  That's cool, but as the old nursery rhyme says, "There’s a Carousel in Oak Bluffs town,
The horses don’t go up or down,
The horses just go ‘round and ‘round,
On the Carousel in Oak Bluffs town."

We will say the free ride for the "golden ring" might make up for this deficiency!

Quite literally the worst "trap" of them all!  Tourist rookies would never dream what it's like to be in a 17 mile backup getting on and off the Cape.
