The Itinerary

Cape Cod, a peninsula shaped like an arm reaching into the Atlantic, is New England's classic summer destination: sandy beaches, iconic lighthouses, fishing villages and seafood restaurants.

Provincetown (tip), Chatham, Hyannis (Kennedy harbour) and Sandwich (colonial village). Cape Cod National Seashore protects 65 km of wild beaches. Ferries to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket (iconic islands with gray-shingled houses). Whale watching from Provincetown. Cycling on the Cape Cod Rail Trail.
