Cape Cod Overview

Cape Cod is a curling peninsula only 70 miles long that encompasses hundreds of miles of beaches and more freshwater ponds than there are days in the year. The ocean's many moods rule this thin spit of land, and in summer, it has a very sunny disposition indeed. The "arm" of the Cape has beckoned wayfarers since pre-Colonial days. These days, more than 5 million visitors flock from around the world each year to enjoy nature's nonstop carnival, a combination of torrid sun and cool, salty air.
