The hook-shaped peninsula of Cape Cod reaches into the Atlantic Ocean from the southeast of Boston. “The Cape,” along with the offshore islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, are popular summer refuges, known for lighthouses, beaches, and welcoming arts and LGBTQ+ communities. On this road trip, you’ll travel down the coast from Boston, then make your way up to the tip of the Upper Cape.
This road trip visits the traditional lands of the Massa-adchu-es-et, Wampanoag, Pokanoket, and Nauset peoples. Cape Cod is best when you can go to the beach, so plan to travel during the warm months. For less traffic and crowds, visit during late spring or early fall.
