Planing to Visit Ocean Edge last week Jul for 2 weeks. Travelling from the uk with 3 teenagers. The Eldest is a 17 year old. Is there much for her to do here particularly as we are renting privately so it may be difficult for her to meet others of that age group.I see they have activities/clubs for 12 and under but what about the 13 - 18%26#39;s.
Also any recommendations for restaurants/beaches/bars etc would be welcome.

I%26#39;m not sure how easy it will be for your kids to meet other teens while on the Cape....but some of that depends on how outgoing they are.
I have 13 and 15 year olds who spend five weeks of their summer in Brewster. There%26#39;s lots that they enjoy, mostly the freedom we give them to go places on their own.
I would suggest renting bikes for at least part of your stay. That way your teens could ride over to the Brewster House of Pizza (my kids like to go for lunch), JTs for ice cream, Harbor Lights for mini-golf, and the Brewster Store (which is a bit further). The Brewster Ladies Library also has a nice teen room if they enjoy reading. It wouldn%26#39;t be too far of a bike ride to go into Orleans either. I know lots of teens like to hang out at the Chocolate Sparrow coffee shop and bakery there.
I would imagine that your private rental will give you indoor pool passes which would be another good place to meet kids.
With two weeks, you will have time to see a great deal of the Cape. Provinctown is a must do as is a whale watch. Be sure to visit an Atlantic Ocean beach (Nauset in Orleans is one your kids wouldl like as it has a snack bar!).
Favorite restaurants for our family:
Joe%26#39;s Beach Bar in Orleans
The Beacon Room in Orleans
Sweetwater Grill in Orleans
Land Ho! in Orleans
Bucca in Chatham/Harwich
Brewster Coffee Shop in Brewster (great bfast and lunch)
Here are some in Brewster which we like less for a variety of reasons:
Agro Dolce (near Ocean Edge)
Laurino%26#39;s (relatively inexpensive and pretty good)
Brewster Fish House (expensive and hard to get into)
Hope others will chime in and that you will take advantage of the other posts on this forums for activity ideas, etc.

See a message from me at the top of your screen...Welcome Shouldi.
Have some info for you there regarding activities. Also you might look at a free publication that is printed month by month and is everywhere at restaurants and info centers and that%26#39;s www.kidsonthecape.com
Two weeks, what a wonderful Cape Cod holiday. Have fun.
