Cape Cod is a very popular destination among tourists from all over the world. For this reason, it can get very crowded during summer and prices are quite a bit higher than during other periods of the year. Some of the best months to visit Cape Cod are April and May, October or November. Winter is when many stores are closed and the city is nearly deserted.
