The Cape Cod Connection |
"If you love the sea - and things that are old - ...nice little houses and all kinds flowers, ...sunsets, lakes, and moors like music, and lily ponds, and tiny towns, and long roads stretching through the wind...and lobsters and asparagus and fat blueberry pies, you will have a beautiful time."
-Eleanor Early, And This is Cape Cod.(1936)

A lot has changed since Eleanor Early wrote those words above in her travel guide to the Cape. Within the 160 pages of our 1997 guide, you will find more than 80 lodging recommendations, all personally selected by our editorial staff. There are grand resorts, hotels and motels, antique-filled inns and B&Bs, and quaint seaside cottage colonies from which to choose. We point you in the direction of more than 50 choice restaurants, from casual eateries to four-star gourmet dining establishments, and suggest a plethora of after-hours "hot spots" where both live entertainment and liquid libations will leave you leagues from dehydration and miles from midnight monotony.
You will be guided to our favorite beaches, bike trails and hiking paths, exciting excursions on the water and easy put-in spots for kayaks and canoes. You will learn of hidden lakes, kettle ponds and villages of long ago.
Though much has changed on Cape Cod and the Islands over the years, Eleanor Early's words quoted above are as true today as they were back then in 1936. Welcome!

Kids on the Cape, a guide for parents and grandparents.
Here's the 1996 Premier Issue
Kids are the Cape -- which is why images of Cape Cod and the islands almost always include children exploring mother nature's playground. They're seen splashing in tide pools, fishing from stone jetties, searching for minnows or chasing after crabs with their nets in hand. Relationships are renewed here and memories are made.
Recommended by Fodors, Kids on the Cape is a definitive guidebook for families visiting the region
With 100 pages, each issue is jam packed with hundreds of ideas and tips to make your family's Cape vacation a winner.
The guide is distributed free throughout the region, or you can order the current issue by first class mail for $3. Telephone (508) 255-6900 or fill out our form.
