For 32 years, our loyal readers have been voting for Cape Cod Life’s Annual Best of Cape Cod & the Islands Readers’ Choice Awards.

Best of Cape Cod Award From restaurants and gift shops to sunset spots and more, our readers have shown love and support to the local businesses, who are the heart and soul of our community.

Whether you’re a visitor trying to find the Best Family Restaurant or Family Activity, a native Cape Codder making a day trip to the Vineyard looking for the Best Beach, or a local in search of the Best Lobster Roll, our digital guide puts the best of Cape Cod and the Islands at your fingertips.

None of this is possible without our readers, who cast their votes and surprise us with their witty, charming, and often astonishing submissions to our Annual Photo Contest. Your support fuels our efforts and propels the dream our publisher Brian Shortsleeve imagined all those years ago. Thank you to everyone who voted this year, and congrats to our 2023 winners!

You’re the BEST!
