CAPE COD & THE ISLANDS INFORMATION

Cape Cod is a beautiful island/peninsula with over 550 miles of white sandy beaches. A true destination resort it is only an hour from Boston or Providence and about 4 1/2 hours from New York City. When you arrive on Cape Cod you will begin to notice the clean air with its salty tang. Even the lighting seems different. That and the quaint villages are part of the reason so many artists make their homes and do their work on the Cape. The winters are warmer and the summers are cooler. A must visit is The National Seashore featuring 20,000 acres of dramatic coastline and sand dunes. Here are some more great reasons to visit Cape Cod or email us at CapeInfo@captainfarris.com
