General presentation
Cape Cod
Presquíle de dunes, fishing villages, ocean beaches, lighthouses and summer atmosphere of New England.
The Cape Cod discovery revolves around Cape Cod National Seashore, Provincetown and Chatham. The stay thus alternates between the coastline, natural areas and the countryside, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very seasonal and summer traffic. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Protected Littoral
Cape Cod National Seashore
The National Park of Cape Cod According to the chosen access, Race Point or Coast Guard Beach, the coastline is changing in size and clarity; the beaches appear more open than in most neighbouring villages.
Coastal village
Provincetown
Provincetown It occupies the tip of the cape with wooden houses, galleries and an active port that rhythms the walks. The crossing between Commercial Street and the dunes gives a double image: the energy of the center and the panoramic breath, without leaving the same territory.
Phare
Chatham Lighthouse
Chatham Lighthouse frame a very mobile beach where the Atlantic constantly reinvents the sand line. From the viewpoint, one sees the fragility of the coast at work, then the architecture of the lighthouse becomes second plane to the marine dynamics.
Phare
Nauset Light
Nauset Light displays a red and white silhouette on the sandy cliffs of Eastham, with a very wide overview of the ocean. Descending to the beach or staying at the top of the dune gives two distinct rhythms of discovery, both very visually marked.
