Hiking, biking canoeing and kayaking. Bring your bike---Biking is a Cape tradition! There are plenty of fine biking routes near Ocean Breeze. Bike the Chatham Bike Trail and Cape Cod Canal Bike Paths. A local favorite: the Cape Cod Rail Trail - a 26-mile bike path through Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet. It's paved, has few hills and is well-marked. A biker's treat. Also excellent for walking and jogging. You can rent bikes, kayaks and canoes in town at reasonable prices.

Day Cruises: Leave your car at nearby Harwichport (plenty of free parking!) Take the ferry to Nantucket to shop and visit the Whaling Museum. Ferry to Monomoy Island for an excursion where you can see seals in their natural environment. Cruises for Monomoy Island also leave from the Outermost Harbor Marine in nearby Chatham.

Take a luncheon or dinner journey on the Cape Cod Central Railroad. This scenic narrated trip leaves from Hyannis and goes to the Cape Cod Canal and back. Dinner is a 5-course gourmet experience. The “Cape Codder” lunch trip is lighter fare.

There are many great eating places within a short drive of Ocean Breeze. Enjoy great dining at nearby Clancy’s, overlooking the Swan River. Or stop in at the Kreme ‘N Kone---voted best seafood on the Cape!
