‘The Cape’ – Cape Cod, located in eastern Massachusetts is among New England’s favorite summer vacation destinations and it thrives on tourism, beautiful ocean beaches and small unique businesses. Travelers come to lose themselves amongst endless miles of windswept seashore, dune-studded landscapes, inshore forests and historic sights. Enjoy your first night in exciting Boston & then head out for 5 Nights at One Hotel on ‘The Cape’ to experience its beauty and history. Visit amazing Boston, mansion filled Newport, RI, Provincetown, a Cranberry Bog and ferry to the two most scenic and famous Islands off ‘The Cape’, Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket. Today, Boston is the economic and cultural hub of New England yet retains its rich history in education, arts, culture, cuisine and architecture. Boston is one of America’s oldest cities, first incorporated as a town in 1630 with a rich economic and social history. The Cape’s recorded history starts with the Plymouth Pilgrims who first set foot in the New World at the tip of Cape Cod in 1620. En route from Boston to Cape Cod visit Plymouth Plantation, and see Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower II, recently renovated for the 400th Anniversary of the historic voyage. On another day visit a traditional Cranberry Bog, see scenic Lighthouses & travel to the tip of Cape Cod to visit charming Provincetown. The island of Martha’s Vineyard is only seven miles off the coast of Massachusetts, but a world all its own. ‘The Vineyard’ is a true island as there are no bridges from the mainland, and most visitors arrive by ferry or plane. Explore the seaside city of Newport, RI famous for its historic mansions and an upscale downtown filled with cobblestone streets & brick sidewalks. The sight of the island of Nantucket coming into view from the bow of a ferry is a stirring one as lines of foaming breakers crash against vast stretches of sands on the shore while 17th century architecture dots the downtown horizon. Enjoy these wonderful New England sights during your 7 day adventure to Boston & ‘The Cape’.
