Close to everything but away from it all
The Platinum Pebble Boutique Inn is nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood set back from Route 28 in West Harwich. Along with the idyllic setting, the inn’s location near a main Cape Cod thoroughfare means it’s the perfect jumping-off point to explore the rest of Cape Cod and the Islands.

Local’s Travel Guide Cape Cod
Best Beaches
Some of the best beaches in the world are on Cape Cod. Coast Guard Beach in Eastham is #6 on Dr. Beach’s Top 10 list of U.S. beaches, so finding the best beaches on Cape Cod means experiencing true beauty in the process.
From the neighborhood beaches of Harwich Port, like Belmont Road Beach, Earle Road Beach, Pleasant Road Beach, Bank Street Beach, or the largest Red River Beach, to the truly spectacular beaches of the Outer Cape, it doesn’t get much better than this. Any Outer Cape beach is incredible, but there are always things that make one better than another. If you are touring the beaches of the Outer Cape, watch the dunes climb to 100 feet (30 meters) as you head North. A stop at Coast Guard Beach is worth the small effort, and Nauset Light Beach is a short drive from Coast Guard (or you can walk a mile or so on the beach if one parking lot is full). Marconi Beach offers ample parking, and its dunes are impressive, reaching approximately 40 feet (13 meters) in height. Marconi is one of the few dog-friendly beaches during the summer. Just take a right at the bottom of the stairs!
If you’re on the Bay, be sure to visit Mayflower Beach — it’s amazing how some beaches can look different from their neighbors, so prepare for white sand and bluer water. If you venture outside Harwich Port for beaches on the Sound, consider West Dennis Beach, which boasts ample sand and parking. Lastly, when you stroll down Main Street in Chatham, it would be a crime not to stop and enjoy Chatham Lighthouse Beach.

Best Lighthouses
There are many lighthouses on Cape Cod, fifteen if you’re counting! The Local’s Travel Guide to Cape Cod has narrowed the list down to eight of the best. If you are on a lighthouse tour, be sure to empty your bucket list with these beauties.
If you start at the beginning of the Cape in Falmouth, a stunning example of a New England lighthouse is Nobska Light, and a personal favorite. Easily one of the more picturesque Cape Cod lighthouses.
Heading east onto Cape Cod brings you to Stage Harbor Light and Chatham Light at the “elbow”. As you head North, Nauset Light is the iconic lighthouse that is a symbol of Cape Cod to many. At the peak of the dunes in Truro sits Highland Light or “the Cape Cod Lighthouse”, so named because it was the very first lighthouse on the Cape commissioned by President George Washington himself! They offer regular tours during the season, and the views are among the best on the Outer Cape.
At the Northern tip of Cape Cod, outside of Provincetown, you will find Long Point Light and Race Point Light. Both are relatively inaccessible, but big views can be had from Commercial Street (Long Point) and Herring Cove Beach (Race Point Light).
Curving around the north side of Cape Cod on the Bay, you will find one of the more mysterious (due to relative inaccessibility) and isolated lighthouses at the Sandy Neck Colony. Kayak across Barnstable Harbor or take your Jeep, provided you have a valid ORV permit.

I love staying here!
This B&B is the best I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to several! The owners are so hospitable and think of everything you could possibly need. The rooms are super clean, comfortable, and a nice decor and the bed and linens are top-notch. They have a very nice pool area and a beautiful backyard to relax in. And to top it off, they have delicious breakfasts and are very accommodating to special diets! Just finished my fourth year in a row visiting and I am a lifer for sure!
Thank you, Shawn & Sharon for making this the best place to stay!
