Cape Cod has many different facets. Each town on the Cape has something unique to offer in the way of natural beauty, history, the arts and in entertainment. The Cape, about 70 miles in length, is often subdivided in four to six regions: Upper-Cape, Mid-Cape, Lower-Cape, Outer-Cape and the Islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket

This Series will take you to the following regions:

The Upper-Cape - Includes Falmouth, Mashpee, Sandwich and Bourne areas of Cape Cod. In this region the two bridges accessing Cape Cod (Over the Cape Cod Canal) are located. It is close to the historical settlement of Plymouth and about 55 miles from downtown Boston

The Mid-Cape - This region includes Dennis, Yarmouth, Barnstable and its seven villages; Hyannis, Osterville, Centerville, Cotuit, West Barnstable, Barnstable Village and Marstons Mills. Hyannis is considered the "hub" of the Cape with nearly 70% of the population in this area. The downtown area of Hyannis is busy most of the year. it is the home of the JFK Museum and the Ocean Street Docks with ferries and tour boats to the Islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.

The Lower-Cape - Known as the Cape's elbow and home of Nickerson State Park, this region includes the towns of Brewster, Chatham, and Harwich. The Lower-Cape boasts family-oriented summer communities and serves as the gateway to the Outer Cape, where all roads merge.

The Outer-Cape - Home of the Cape Cod National Seashore, this region includes the towns of Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown. The Outer-Cape is a bit more secluded and well suited for summer tourists because of the miles of fine beaches in the National Seashore.
