Road Trip to Scraggy Neck

Don't let the name fool you - Scraggy Neck is anything but scraggy. Our road trip extended onto Scraggy Neck peninsula, home of the Chart Room Restaurant and one the Cape's most popular dockside hotspots.

We arrived minutes after the busy bar ran out of Strawberry Mudslides, sadly, but minutes before the sunset, happily. Captains and passengers traversed Red Brook Harbor while others docked their investments nearby at the Kingman Yacht Club and joined the festivities.

A sunset worth a thousand words slipped quietly into the ocean taking with it our warm spring breeze. We were left feeling the chill and getting hungry so we ducked out at 9 o'clock and found ourselves gobbling up generous portions of lobster ravioli and mozzarella cheese sticks.

Jen, a woman raised in these parts, instantly recognized the local acoustic musician/singer setting up for an evening performance. The place was pumping with young people but a day of sun, surf and mudslides did us in.

We fell into bed before the stroke of midnight wishing our last evening in paradise could last just a few days longer...
