I think not! There is plenty to do here during the “quiet” months. The beach is a great place for reflective walks, most of our unique shops and art galleries remain open, and the restaurants are still dishing up wonderful seafood. But that’s not all. The Cape is blessed with many unique attractions that are open all year long. The Honeysuckle Hill B&B has conjured up some great get-away...
