Cape Cod

From MaxTravelz

Cape Cod is an arm-shaped peninsula located on the Easternmost portion of Massachusetts. It is a well-traveled tourist and vacation area, featuring miles and miles of beaches, natural attractions and outdoor activities, historic sites, and many four star restaurants. The area is also very popular amongst antique enthusiasts and people who enjoy bed and breakfasts. The town of Provincetown, at the very tip of the peninsula, is the site of the first landing of the Pilgrims.
