Cape Cod

I recently purchased Cape Cod Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket -by Kim Grant (ISBN:0-88150-632-X) It mentions the more scenic lighthouses, what towns have the best historic houses, and nature preserves with walking trails.

Don't just arrive there without at least a rough sketch of a plan. Your vacation time is too valuable. New England is nothing if not historic, and this guide begins listing them in the early pages.

Study Your Maps:

Then, look at them again. This is how I spend my time on the plane. I am never bored.

Grant believes in excellent maps, (as do I), and says so, as she recommends Cape Cod, Matha's Vineyard & Nantucket Street Atlas. (Published in April 2004, Arrow Map, Inc.) -Link The guide doesn't provide the link to purchase the map. But I do.

Museums are listed with the towns they are located in, And another guide is recommended for visiting nature preserves that are away from the developed/populated areas: Walks and Rambles on Cape Cod and the Islands -by Ned Friary and Glenda Bendure. (ISBN 13: 9780881504248)


Try this link to discover ponds, parks and trails while browsing the internet. It is not mentioned in Kim Grant's guide. Also, this link is to Mass Audubon. This is an organization that began protecting birds in 1896.

Kim's guide does provide plenty of websites.
