Cape Cod Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Just 71 miles from Boston, Cape Cod is a 399-mile landmass jutting 35 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean, luring families to an old-fashioned, beach getaway where they enjoy clear ponds, gentle wild, breaking surf, cycling routes past cranberry bogs, clam flats, and hikes along high, windswept dunes.
