Overview
Cape Cod is a distinctive, hook-shaped peninsula in Massachusetts, celebrated globally for its quaint New England villages, miles of sandy beaches, and rich maritime history. Part of the state's mainland but geographically distinct, the Cape is a major summer destination and is defined by the Cape Cod Canal, charming towns like Hyannis, Chatham, and Provincetown, and the protected lands of the Cape Cod National Seashore. The region has played a significant role in American history, from the landing of the Pilgrims to its more recent history as a favored retreat for prominent families.
Tours here focus on experiencing the scenic coast, enjoying fresh seafood, engaging in outdoor activities like biking and sailing, and exploring its unique artistic and historical communities, particularly Provincetown at the very tip of the peninsula. Whether you're seeking quiet beaches, dramatic dune landscapes, or bustling harbor activity, Cape Cod offers an iconic New England experience.
Visit this protected area spanning over 40 miles of shoreline, featuring dramatic dunes, wild barrier beaches (like Coast Guard Beach), lighthouses, and beautiful walking trails.
Tip: Stop at the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham for orientation and trail maps.
Embark on a boat tour from Provincetown (P-town) or Barnstable into the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, one of the best feeding grounds in the world for Humpback, Fin, and Minke whales.
Tip: This is a 3-4 hour excursion; bring warm layers, as it is always cooler out on the water.
Wander the vibrant main street of P-town at the very tip of the Cape. This lively town is known for its art galleries, unique shops, eclectic dining, and bustling harbor.
Tip: Climb the Pilgrim Monument for a spectacular panoramic view of the entire Cape.
Explore the history of the Kennedy family's connection to Cape Cod and their time at the nearby compound. The museum offers photographs and exhibits detailing the life and presidency of John F. Kennedy.
Tip: Afterward, walk to the nearby Kennedy Memorial at Lewis Bay.
