Having grown up on the coast of Florida in the 50's and 60's, I can just imagine how great the Cape must have been for kids back then.

It was. Ironically, I haven't been there since I moved to Ohio 43 years ago. My sister still lives near the cape. May try to get out there this year.

So I am a bit biased but I grew up south of Boston and my family owned 2 cottages in Dennisport. My Dad grew up going to Dennisport with his family, so it's nostalgic and tradition. It hasn't changed much. It has a charm and authenticity you don't find elsewhere. I took my daughter back last summer as my Dad bought a new summer home in Osterville. You need to make sure you are on the side that is warmer - but warmer water is relative ;) To me the Cape is about slowing down, going back in time a bit, and just spending time as a family. Would I go there regularly from Utah just for the beach? NO way. I can get to better beaches faster. But if I lived relatively close to the Cape I would be there in a heartbeat.

The water is definitely COLD

Hope it lives up to your memories. Florida doesn't for me.

UPDATE
I DId get back there in Aug. Spent 1 day in Hyannis. Ate at Spanky's Clam Shack. Great food and dessert at Katies Ice Cream. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the end of our travelling. Shortly after our return to Ohio, I put my wife into a memory care unit because of her dementia. I had been caring for her the last 2 years, but, it was overwhelming and couldn't do it anymore as the disease progressed.

So sorry! What a sad thing to happen to a beloved wife. I hope she does well in memory care. That is the one thing that I fear with the two of us. You just never know.
