We want to take a moment to express our sentiments regarding the coronavirus pandemic. The fear and anxiety can be overwhelming, especially at a time when we face restrictions and have to distance ourselves from friends and family.
Remember that “we’re all in this together.”
We certainly wish you safety and well being, both physically and emotionally.
For those of you who are not limited to shelter-in-place, we strongly recommend getting outside for a walk, a cup of coffee, some sunshine, and noticing spring-time blooms.
Usually long walks on the beach help us all, but in this crisis, not everyone can. So, let us bring the Cape and Islands to you with these ideas to help you cope during this stressful time:

About Becky Fischer: I have worked for WeNeedaVacation.com since 2003. Currently my position entails providing photography, video, and consultation services to vacation rental homeowners, and I have photographed over 700 homes on the Cape and Islands. My husband and three children moved to Brewster in 2006. I grew up outside of Boston, spent summer vacations on Nantucket, and was married in Orleans. My favorite activities on the Cape are walking on the CCRT, deep breaths at the beach, visiting great coffee shops, and working with my community to support the schools and local events.
