Why visit Cape Cod?

Cape Cod is a hook-shaped peninsula in southeastern Massachusetts, reaching far out into the Atlantic Ocean. It is a classic New England summer destination, with sandy beaches, dunes, lighthouses and shingled seaside villages. The Pilgrims first anchored at its tip in 1620, before settling at Plymouth.

Spend time on the beaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore, which protects long stretches of the outer coast from Chatham to Provincetown. In Provincetown, climb the Pilgrim Monument, walk the lively Commercial Street and join a whale-watching trip to Stellwagen Bank. Cycle the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which follows an old railway line through several towns. See Nauset Light in Eastham and the seals that gather off the shore near Chatham. In Hyannis, the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum covers the Kennedy family's ties to the Cape, and ferries leave for Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Lobster rolls, fried clams and Wellfleet oysters are the essential local foods.
