Summer in Cape Cod

June 2010

"Come to Cape Cod to feel inspired. Come to Cape Cod to walk the pristine beaches, to revel in the arts and culture, to reclaim childhood memories of seashells, sandcastles and salt water taffy. Come to Cape Cod to let yourself go and let it capture your heart...."

Welcome to the beautiful sandy shores of CAPE COD.

Begin the day by exploring the Cape’s oldest village of SANDWICH that exudes “New England seaside charm” and provides a glimpse into colonial history. Visit the SANDWICH GLASS MUSEUM where you will learn the history of glass blowing as you watch an artisan at work. See the HOXIE HOUSE, the oldest house on Cape Cod, and envision life in the 1600’s. Stroll down the quaint downtown streets lined with antique stores and local craft and art galleries.

You will also be guided to the HERITAGE MUSEUMS & GARDENS that is one of Sandwich’s star attractions.

Enjoy a leisurely day at your hotel Spa and browse the town of Sandwich. Learn how to make your own jam at the GREEN BRIAR NATURE CENTER and JAM KITCHEN. Stop in Hyannisport at the Kennedy Memorial and view St. Francis Xavier Church. Hyannisport was the summer address of President John F. Kennedy.

Enjoy a LOBSTER ROLL LUNCH before leaving the mainland for the stunning island of NANTUCKET. Tour the island of Nantucket, visit the Whaling Museum, walk the cobblestone streets and explore the galleries, shopping and the beaches.

Returning to the mainland, explore the old Cape Cod as you journey along the scenic Old King’s Highway. See village greens, bandstands, windmills, peeks of Cape Cod Bay. Try some Portuguese kale soup, lobster bisque, home made fudge and salt water taffy. Your final destination is PROVINCETOWN, a unique and lovely village that has a rich heritage combining a love of the sea and the arts.

Relax with an afternoon spa treatment at your hotel.

Visit the Truro Vineyards to see how Cape Codders earn a living by winemaking.

A perfect way to complete your Cape Cod vacation is to celebrate the natural beauty of the area on a SUNSET DUNE RIDE with a LOBSTER BAKE on the beach. Quintessential Cape Cod!

On your journey back to Boston visit the seaside village of CHATHAM. Stop at the Chatham Lighthouse overlooking the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
