Cape Cod-Life as it used to be and should be

Cape Cod is the way life used to be, should be, and in many regards still is, Once you get here, you feel like you took a step back in time. We have a Cape Cod commission that has worked really hard to keep our towns, small town-like.  Each town has a main street, library, local events, bike trails, road races, music festivals, and the beaches are voted some of the best in the world. It is not high-tech, but it is a simpler life. When you come here you really feel like you are on vacation.

The Cape Cod National Seashore is a must see while vacationing here. In 1961, President Kennedy signed the legislation that makes this what it is today. It is a 40-mile stretch of unspoiled sandy beach in Outer Cape Cod, with 559.6 miles of beautiful and also unspoiled coastline.

There are hundreds of light-houses, which some people like driving from light-house to light-house. We are famous for our seafood, in fact some people get their clamming license for the weekend. We just have cute quaint villages with that typical New England architecture. Most all the houses are that salt box cape style with natural shingles having pretty yards with beautiful landscaping.

Ice Cream! Cape Cod is super popular for Ice Cream. All of it is homemade, and there is competition between the ice cream venues. There have been many traveling road-shows coming to Cape Cod to sample that ice cream. On any given night you can see the lines of people waiting to get ice cream.

For the baseball enthusiast, Cape Cod has the best summer league for current college baseball players all across the country. It offers a great family outing while staying on the Cape during your vacation. This is part of our lifestyle. Every little town has a baseball team. All the talent scouts from all the major league teams come to watch these players in the summer. It doesn't cost anything to go to the games, you can donate a dollar or two or more if you want. It is old-fashioned fields with old fashioned bleachers. The kids can meet the players on the field before the game starts.

Every town in the summer has their own music festivals, art shows, craft fairs, antique shows, and so many things for kids. The Cape is also a great vacation get-away for those that like to run. 

The Cape is also famous for road races.Every weekend starting in the spring, all the way through the fall, you can find a race to participate in. They can be as small as 5k or up to half marathon. We have runners that book their vacations around these races.

Come on Say yes to the Cape!!
