Cape Cod offers a myriad of attractions, sites and activities for visitors to enjoy during a vacation. From sunrise to sunset over the waters of the Atlantic or Cape Cod Bay, there's something for everyone to see and do no matter what the season.
Below is just a sample of the many exciting and historical attractions to visit on the Cape:
- Built in 1797, Highland Light in Truro is the oldest lighthouse on Cape Cod. It is also one of the most powerful lights on the East Coast, with a beam reaching 23 miles offshore. The Truro Historical Museum is located next door in the Highland House (508-487-3397).
- Nickerson State Park in Brewster is one of the best camping areas on the Cape. It offers great fishing, swimming, bicycling and hiking. Reservations are required in the summertime.
