It’s little wonder the Cape is considered one of the best solo travel destinations: From the welcoming atmosphere, easygoing pace, and abundance of things to do, it’s easy to explore on your own.

Why Cape Cod Ranks Among the Best Solo Travel Destinations for Women
Trips for singles have become much more popular in recent years, and it’s easy to see why. There are few things more freeing than traveling on your own. The flexibility to wake up and plan your day exactly how you want is refreshing. These kinds of trips are appealing for a wide variety of reasons, too. Whether you are craving an intentional solo reset or just enjoy doing things at your own pace, Cape Cod is considered one of the best solo travel destinations in the country. It’s quiet when you need it to be, and busy and engaging at every opportunity.
Harwich, where you’ll find our Cape Cod Bed and Breakfast, is one of the most charming Cape Cod towns and makes a great home base for singles trips. It’s earned its reputation as one of the best solo travel destinations thanks to its low crime rates, well-patrolled beaches, and helpful locals. Our community is friendly, with walkable village centers and easy-to-navigate streets and trails. Beyond the community itself, Harwich is centrally located on the Cape, making it easy to access one adventure after the next.
Cape Cod Beaches alone are worth the trip. After your delicious breakfast and friendly conversation at our Inn, hop on one of our complimentary bikes and pedal down to one of our local beaches for an afternoon by the water. At the end of our road, you’ll find Belmont Road Beach, which easily connects to wide stretches of sand and the Herring River Jetty. Another great local beach that you can reach by bike is Red River Beach in Harwich. A scenic drive (or bike ride) along the coast will take you to plenty more beaches, not to mention iconic Cape Cod lighthouses, like the Highland Light in Truro, Nauset Light in Eastham, and Chatham Light, among others.
As you plan out your solo vacations to the Cape, don’t skip the opportunity to explore our local towns. Start with Harwich, of course. From here, other great towns on the Cape include Provincetown, which has a creative, lively energy, with art galleries, boutique shopping, and whale watching tours worth building a day around. Wellfleet is a bit quieter and is known for its oyster culture, scenic harbor, and the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, where a peaceful walk through nature is never far away. Falmouth, located in the Southwest corner of Cape Cod, has an old-time, authentic feel that is ideal for solo travel for women who want to enjoy shoreline walks and bike paths to local markets and dining. Nearby Chatham offers a warm, classic feel and is also home to the famous Shark Center, the Old Colony Rail Trail, and plenty of great dining, shops, beaches, and more.
When you need a break from the bikes and beaches, don’t miss Cape Cod attractions like the Whydah Pirate Museum, the craftsmanship on display at the Sandwich Glass Museum, or regional art at the Cape Cod Museum of Art. And no trip is complete without great food, which you’ll find around every corner and along every bike path. Treat yourself to fresh seafood at The Ocean House, grab a casual bite with a harbor view at Sesuit Harbor Café, or book a table at Ceraldi in Provincetown, a James Beard award-winning restaurant with a thoughtful approach to local ingredients. It’s just as easy to enjoy a fine-dining meal by the water as it is to bite into a mouthwatering lobster roll by the pier, and that variety truly is why the Cape is one of the best solo travel destinations on the East Coast.
