No vacation to the cape is ever complete without an ice cream stop. Sure there are many more fabulous places to get ice cream, but these are some of the best I’ve heard of! Nothing beats homemade ice cream after a long, sunny day on the beach! Most of these locations also offer low-fat or sugar free ice cream, soft serve, and frozen yogurt. Now is the time for you to be the judge of which places should hold the title of the Cape’s best ice cream!
