Visit lonely lighthouses, gingerbread cottages, and weathered beach shanties. Stroll sandy beaches, swoop along bike trails, or saunter down a boardwalk through a white cedar swamp. Watch whales blow off Barnstable and artists paint in Provincetown. Steep yourself in the peninsula's colonial and nautical heritage. Complementing the spectacular color photos are the inspired words of writers who have succumbed to the Cape's charms.
Nobody runs when they can walk.
What doesn't get done one day may get done the next or the next. Faces are etched by sea wind, browned by sun, but tension lines tend to disappear. The very immensity of the sea brings a sense of tranquillity.
