Cape Cod
Cape Cod offers everything needed for a warm-weather playground, from gorgeous beaches, pond-filled parks and miles of well-maintained bike trails to dining options ranging from five-star fancy to fried-clam casual. But for those who have made this arm-shaped peninsula their year-round home, real living often begins the day after Labor Day, after they've waved goodbye to the last sunburned tourist. The beaches and clam bars may draw the day-trippers, but it is the hidden natural gems and strong cultural community that tie the area's residents to this very special place. Whatever your idea of heaven, chances are you will find it in any Cape Cod locale, where you can live the high life or barely stir from your beach chair.
