Instead of joining the crowds at the usual tourist spots, we’re seeking out the Cape’s little-known gems. With the help of local know-it-alls, we find a hidden beach in Waquoit, a kid-pleasing farm in East Falmouth, and in Hyannis, a Parisian-quality bakery tucked beside a factory, and a garage reborn as a boutique. Plus, Anthony Everett steps off the beaten trails of the Cape Cod National Seashore.
