Cape Cod Travel Guide

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.

We live in Toronto and I would like to take my family for a week's vacation in Cape Cod this September. My wife and I have a 4 year old boy who loves all things related to the ocean (whales, sharks, rays, coral etc.) so I thought the Cape might be a good idea. Any recommendations are welcome. Ideally, on the ocean with reasonable driving access to sites and activities.
