Last April I wrote about the National Seashore, a treasure that is just down the road from the High Pointe Inn, but it is worthy of another mention as a milestone in its history approaches. Created by President John F. Kennedy in 2020, this year marks its 50th anniversary. If you want to see the beauty of nature in a pristine environment, then a trip to one of the National Seashore beaches is a must. All have paved parking, showers, rest rooms, changing rooms, and lifeguards seasonally. Coast Guard Beach in Eastham and Herring Cove in Provincetown, are handicapped accessible and have wheelchairs capable of traveling over sand. Choose any of the following beaches, but be forewarned, on a hot an steamy Cape Cod summer day the parking lots of most beaches fill up quickly.

• Coast Guard Beach, Eastham.
• Nauset Light Beach, Eastham.
• Marconi Beach, Wellfleet.
• Head of the Meadow Beach, Truro.
• Race Point Beach, Provincetown.
• Herring Cove Beaches, Provincetown.

Recently, Chronicle, the Boston Channel’s nightly news magazine, featured the National Seashore in honor of its 50th birthday celebration. Do yourself a favor and take 6 minutes of your time to see this amazing footage and learn a bit about its history.  View the video clip.

Sometimes a 24-hour escape from the routine is all you need to recharge the batteries. And sometimes our reservations fall in such a way that it leaves a room available at the High Pointe Inn for just one night between other bookings. We call these our “one hit wonder” nights and offer them at a last minute reduced rate to “fill in the gap” if you will. This is our 3rd season offering this very popular special to our previous guests and we’ve decided to open it up to the general public this year as well.

So if you need a 24-hour escape to Cape Cod on any of the following nights, you are in luck: JULY 6, 14, 20, 24, and 30th. Stay one night in our best available room for $199.00 complete. Our previous guests know that our rates include Rich’s fabulous cooked-to-order breakfasts with a choice of at least six entrees, plus a special each morning; Debbie’s afternoon beverages and sweet treats, and a complimentary after-dinner drink from our cordials bar.

Come enjoy our beautiful deck, our spacious and casually elegant rooms, our spectacular perennial gardens, and of course, the view. If you want to really relax, refresh, and renew you can add a one-hour in-room relaxation massage for just $120.00 additional.

Call early for best availability, toll free at (888)362-4441 and ask for the “one hit wonder“ deal. Or book online on our secure booking engine.
