Free Travel Deals Newsletter
Cape Cod, extending some 60 curving miles into the Atlantic like a beckoning arm, is such a mad amalgam of communities - from the science-wonks in Woods Hole to the off-duty shrinks of Wellfleet and the predominantly gay pleasure-seekers in Provincetown - that whatever your predilections, you're sure to find congenial company (way too much of it in summer, especially if you make the novice's mistake of trying to drive onto the Cape Friday afternoon or off it late on a sunny Sunday). Virtually everyone comes to the Cape in search of what Patti Page extolled as "sand dunes and salty air," available in abundance, whether along the relatively tame bay side or on the wild-waved oceanfront, a good chunk of which is permanently protected as the Cape Cod National Seashore. Come evening, the restaurants - ranging from humble clam shacks to haute foodie temples - beckon. Theater offerings span the provocative and the tried-and-true, and if Provincetown's creative nightlife does finally grind to a halt, it's only so that the celebrants might stagger to the beach while the sun is still high.
