Cape Cod on the cheap

By Tom Haines, Globe Staff

Evening: Cape View Motel, Truro

Okay, spending a summer evening in a motel may seem short-sighted. But consider that rooms here come with balconies that offer a sweeping view of the bay and swaths of sand dunes stretching north to Provincetown. Settle into a chair for pizza and beer and enjoy the sunset, the lights of Provincetown and the stars overhead. Turn in early, dream deeply, and make an early morning drive north on Route 6 for a wake-up call.
