Cape Cod

An arm-shaped peninsula called Cape Cod is situated in Massachusetts' easternmost region. It has grown to be one of the most well-liked destinations in Massachusetts during the summer. The Cape Cod National Seashore is dotted with lighthouses, cranberry bogs, swimming beaches, and walking and bicycling routes. The Pilgrims' initial landing place is the well-known resort town of Provincetown, which is located at the very tip of the peninsula.

While Cape Cod is well-known for its artist colonies and charming villages, it was the Kennedy family's summer residence at Hyannis, which is a part of the cape's main town of Barnstable, that first made the region famous. Additionally, it serves as a convenient starting point for trips to Massachusetts' outer islands.

Sand dunes, expansive beach stretches, charming lighthouses, cranberry bogs, and kettle ponds are all associated with Cape Cod. The Cape Cod National Seashore, which protects a large portion of the outer Cape, provides several options for recreation and animal viewing. As well as Nickerson State Park's campgrounds and bathing areas, the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary's pathways through salt marsh and woods will appeal to nature lovers.
