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. 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. Read More

  • 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.
