Scargo Tower
Kind of odd, but a good view of Scargo Lake and Cape Cod Bay beyond. If you are in the area, may be worth a few minutes to stop by.
Scargo Hill Rd, South Dennis, MA 02660
Y/D, if you like, is the transition from Mid Cape to Lower Cape. The southern or Sound side of Y/D is more touristy and feels a little like the Florida coast with its mini-golf courses, family eateries, and traffic. The Bay (northern) side is more quaint (including Barnstable village). Many travelers get off of Route 6 at Hyannis just before Y/D or keep on trucking through to Chatham or the Outer Cape.

Other Stuff
Mayflower Beach
Nice looking beach with facilities. Because it is bayside, low tide goes way out which makes for fun beach walking through the tide pools. However, it's likely very crowded on beach days and it's a $30 parking fee in season (before 5:00 pm). 62 Horsefoot Path, Dennis, MA 02638

Similar to Mayflower above except for its horseshoe shape, with the same low tide and high price tag.
