Cape Cod Massachusetts Travel Guide

Cape Cod is the Massachusetts landmass which extends into the Atlantic Ocean, said to look like an arm showing its muscle. The seventy-mile long peninsula is comprised of fifteen townships, divided into three regions: Upper Cape, Mid Cape and Lower Cape. This City Guide can help you choose among the various Cape Cod, MA hotels available in the area. Visit all three regions as you will find plenty to keep you entertained!

Visiting Cape Cod is sometimes for a long weekend getaway in one of the local Cape Cod, Massachusetts hotels, and often as part of a more extensive New England tour. There are local air transports as well as busses available from Boston Logan Airport (BOS), just 75 miles away, to take you to Hyannis or Provincetown. Many visitors choose to pick up a rental car at the airport; perhaps you are planning to drive from far away and experiencing more of the beautiful East Coast. Once you cross one of two bridges, there are busses, taxis, ferries and bike rentals available. Your choice of lodging ranges from over 250 bed and breakfasts and inns to first-class resorts.

The Cape Cod area provides over 100 miles of biking trails through beautiful countryside. Another way to get a real feel for the area is to attend the annual Maritime Days which offers walking and lighthouse tours plus all things nautical - plan ahead to attend this fun-filled event. The islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard are quite popular destinations for day trips, and visitors enjoy unforgettable whale watching tours in Hyannis. One of the world’s best whale feeding areas, Stellwagen Bank, is located off Cape Cod Bay.

This area is known as a premier place to swing your club. The steady climate allows golfers the opportunity to play nearly 52 weeks a year at more than 25 public courses. Cape Cod is brimming with art and culture from the Classy Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra to exciting jazz.

The historic towns and villages have plenty to offer including art galleries, studios, shops and museums. It doesn’t get any better than spending a relaxing afternoon exploring a variety of lovely antique shops along Old King’s Highway (Route 6A). While in the area, take time to visit the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum to learn how our President dearly loved Hyannis. Additional family fun can be found at the Cape Cod Children’s Museum where kids can explore a pirate ship and a planetarium.
