Sandy paths lead through dense green grass to this striking beach bordered by a vast marsh meadow. The long, wide beach attracts a relatively quiet crowd in the summer. Undisturbed and undeveloped, the area runs from Chatham to Provincetown and has some of the cape's finest hiking and bicycle trails. There's also fishing offshore and in the ponds. Canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats can be rented in Provincetown and Eastham.
Rooms have fireplaces and four-poster beds.
The suites have whirlpools and private decks. Fabulous breakfasts are served out on the patio, and cocktail hour is at 6. Captain Linnell House in Orleans is where Pratt celebrates special occasions. This sea captain's house is decorated with 18th century furniture and serves seafood with a French influence. Open 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
