Enjoy the pristine landscape and tranquil beaches of Cape Cod National Seashore, where you can observe the ocean from the lighthouse or the sandy dunes. Many visitors to the area come for the chance to see whales in their natural habitat, while groups of seals frolick just off shore most of the time. Ride along the well-kept bike paths, take a walk on many hiking trails along the seashore, or swim in the clear, calm water. The park complex contains an info booth with knowledgeable and friendly staff, a gift store, and an observation deck overlooking the sea. You can also pop into the old harbor museum for information on local history. Make Cape Cod National Seashore part of your personalized Cape Cod itinerary using our Cape Cod trip itinerary site .

  Due to our travel time at the beginning of November we were not for a swim in Cape Cod, but enjoyed the walks on the extensive, clean beach. It is very positive that the entire beach area is not paved with hotels, but is very natural. Accommodation is available in motels along the main road and in the few small towns. The Cape Cod National Seashore Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham is a place to check out. The warnings about white sharks in this area are somewhat irritating. Is this really recommended for a beach holiday?
