The arm-shaped peninsula known as Cape Cod rests in the southeast

corner of Massachusetts, extending east into the Atlantic Ocean. Its

559.6 miles of coastal shoreline are accented by bays, harbors, beach-

es and marshland settings of breath-taking natural beauty. Cape

Cod incorporates all of Barnstable County, which comprises 15 towns:

Bourne, Sandwich, Falmouth, Mashpee, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis,

Harwich, Brewster, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and

Provincetown.

With waterfront to please all tastes, Cape Cod’s northern shoreline

is formed by the tidal waters of Cape Cod Bay; south lies the warm

waters of Nantucket Sound; easterly is the raw power of the Atlantic

Ocean and across its landscape are over 365 kettle ponds formed by

the glaciers thousands of years ago.

Cape Cod’s location provides access to many activities both on the

water and land, and its temperate climate, thanks to the nearby Gulf

Stream, allows enjoyment for many months out of the year. For exam-

ple, located just off the shore of Provincetown to the northwest is the

Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, a renowned location for

whale watching. And, many of the towns’ harbors provide deep-water

access to sportfishing and world-class sailing. Additionally, Cape Cod

has become a premier golf destination, with over 35 public and private

golf courses; many designed by today’s biggest golf course architects

including Reese Jones, Geoffrey Cornish, Skip Wogan and Brian Silva.

Let’s not forget the rich arts and cultural heritage on Cape Cod provid-

ing activities from orchestras and opera to galleries, museums and

performing arts.

When describing a location on Cape Cod, locals refer to four distinct re-

gions: the Upper Cape is the region located closest to the mainland, the

Mid Cape is located in the middle as you move east. Next comes the

Lower Cape, located at the elbow of the arm and then as you progress

further out into the Atlantic toward the tip of Cape Cod you have the

Outer Cape.

DENNISAnother of Cape Cod’s historic treasures, Dennis offers a bit of everything

for everyone. Along its north side, Dennis exudes historic charm, from

living history museums such as the Josiah Dennis Manse to a landscape

that meanders along Route 6A dotted with antique shops, historic homes

and B&Bs. Its southern coastline features one of Cape Cod’s most visited

sandy shores, West Dennis Beach, punctuated by cottage colonies and

salt-air breezes as well as the lovely estates that reside along the fingers

of Bass River, with deep water access to Nantucket Sound.

of Cape Cod. All of its saltwater beaches are located on Cape Cod Bay,

known as the famous Brewster flats, where when the tide is “out,” you

can walk out into the bay for at least a mile. Along Route 6A, the main

thoroughfare, one can find remnants of its historic past from stately sea

captain’s homes now converted to B&Bs or private residences. Brewster

is also home to Nickerson State Park and the Punkhorn Parklands, pro-

viding miles of nature trails for the outdoor enthusiast.

CHATHAMThe National Trust for Historic Preservation chose Chatham as a Distinc-

tive Destination in 2007. Few places encompass the historic charm of this

quaint “fishing village” by the sea. Chatham has shorelines along both

Nantucket Sound and the Atlantic Ocean and is well-known for its Fish

Pier from which commercial and recreational fishermen ply their trade.

Chatham is home to a picture-perfect Main Street with village shops,

world-class inns and wonderful restaurants which provide the perfect

vantage point to enjoy Chatham’s festive small-town parades on

Independence Day and New Year’s Eve.

Encounter Beach in 1620, Eastham also is home to the Salt Pond Visi-

THE OUTER CAPE

WELLFLEET, TRURO, PROVINCETOWN

What some consider to be the “True Cape Cod”

the Outer Cape is home to some of the most

picturesque dunescapes and marshlands on this

sandy peninsula. The Cape Cod National Seashore

the Atlantic Ocean. The least populated and most

TRUROTruro is the smallest and least populated town on Cape Cod. Home to

dramatic sandy cliffs from Atlantic to Bay, Truro is unsurpassed in its nat-

ural beauty. Built in 1797, Highland Lighthouse, located on a cliff 183 feet

above sea level, is the oldest lighthouse on Cape Cod. Truro resides close

enough to Provincetown to enjoy its activities, but far enough removed to

bask in peaceful seclusion.
