Why you should go…
This is the Cape Cod of your imagination: 40 miles of pristine barrier beach, towering dunes, kettle ponds, and cedar swamps set aside by President Kennedy in 1961. Start at the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham for exhibits, ranger talks, and trail maps, then pick your beach, Coast Guard, Nauset Light, or Race Point. Sunsets over the outer dunes are the stuff of lifelong memories.
