New England’s Scenic Summer Playground
Jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean just south of Boston lies Cape Cod, one of the East Coast’s dreamiest and most enduring vacation spots. Peppered with picturesque fishing villages, historic lighthouses, and wide-open beaches, the Cape is where Bostonians come to unwind. Bike along the 22-mile Cape Rail Trail, enjoy a clambake on the beach, or head out on a sailboat excursion. Each of the 11 seaside towns along the Cape boasts its own distinctive style: Wellfleet is known for its beaches and art galleries, Provincetown for its nightlife, and Chatham for its shopping. And because it’s only about 70 miles long, it’s easy to explore the entire Cape.
