On Nantucket, spend an afternoon wandering the historic town and the Whaling Museum on Martha’s Vineyard, be sure to visit the town of Aquinnah, home of the local Wampanoag people, and its beautiful clay cliffs, as well as the old-fashioned historic carousel in Oak Bluffs. It includes seven bedrooms, sleeping up to 14, and sits right on Shawme Pond in downtown Sandwich. Called the Newcomb Tavern, it was once used for lodging dignitaries during the American Revolution. You could spend an entire vacation rubbing shoulders with famous folks on Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard, but passenger ferries from several Cape towns make it possible to visit either on a day trip. This gorgeous Cape Cod mansion dates back to 1693 as one of the oldest privately owned homes in the country. Boats leave from various locations including Hyannis, Provincetown, Barnstable, Orleans, and Plymouth. Many tour companies will guarantee sightings.
Whale-Watchingīetween mid-April and late October, hundreds of humpback, finback, and minke whales arrive at their feeding grounds along the Massachusetts coast. But the park is not all about sandy shores: thirteen hiking trails and three bike trails wind through pristine dunes, wetlands, and scrub oak forests. While lively, convenient beaches line the peninsula, it’s well worth visiting the pristine beaches within the 27,000-acre Cape Cod National Seashore.
