The Sandwich Boardwalk crosses saltwater marshes, creeks, and low dunes before ending at mostly rocky Town Neck Beach.  

In 1620 the Pilgrims anchored first in Provincetown Harbor before continuing to Plymouth. Today the harbor is home to a fleet of trawlers, whale-watching tours, and sport-fishing boats.  

Cape beaches are crowded in summer, but those willing to walk a few hundred yards will be rewarded with much more elbow room.  

Serene seaside marshes and coastal waterways are as much a part of the Cape as its beaches.  

Pedestrian-friendly Commercial Street is Provincetown's main thoroughfare and people-watching spot. Quieter at both ends of its three-mile length, the middle stretch bustles with restaurants, boutiques, tourist shops, and crowds.  

How many other east coast beaches can you find where the sun sets over the ocean?  

Cape Cod architecture began here, and the Cape is filled with fine examples of this classic style.  

The Cape's soft coastal light has attracted artists to the area for more than 100 years.  

Cape Cod's past is entwined with fishing culture, and the ocean-going tradition lives on in the many small harbors tucked along the coastline.  

With 560 miles of Cape coastline to explore, you'll have your choice of beaches ranging from civilized in-town stretches to wild strands of sand where you can walk for miles.
