Thoreau once described Cape Cod as the bared and bended arm of
Massachusetts ...boxing with northeast storms. It still stands vigilant,
but today it is better known for its beauty than its pugilism! Some
residents continue to wrest their livings from the sea, of course, but
for millions of people the Cape is a sun-drenched oasis, surrounded by
the beauties of the ocean and bay, and filled with charming vistas of
sand and surf, quaint villages, living history, and natural sanctuaries.
This book captures many of those places. The wonderful color photographs
are reminders of days spent in her towns and on her shores, taking the
reader out Route 6A to Provincetown, and back Route 28 to Falmouth. For
the adventurous or the merely curious, it encourages them to turn onto a
side road or get out of the car and follow one of the many foot paths
that crisscross the Cape. There are discoveries awaiting around every
turn. For whatever reason, this book will be a cherished memento of your
days on Cape Cod.
