Cape Cod Map, Towns

Cape Cod is a 413-square mile peninsula of fields, forests, dunes, marshland and beaches located off the Massachusetts coast.

This water-enclosed landmass is home to a year-round population of near 200,000.

The Cape’s northern shoreline stretches along Cape Cod Bay, while Nantucket Sound borders its southern coast. Stretching 35 miles eastward, it suddenly turns north at the "elbow" and extends another 30 miles further into the Atlantic Ocean.

Residents live here for many different reasons. Some grew up on Cape and continue this tradition by raising their families here. Others have moved or purchased a second home here to escape stressful lifestyles or simply to provide a better environment for their children.

Much like Florida, Cape Cod has a large number of retirees who annually move back and forth from the area. The area is most famous for its summer tourists, who visit from almost every state in the union and every corner of the globe.
