The entire Cape has an exciting arts and entertainment scene with the cuisine and nightlife to go with it. Art and architecture here reflect the area’s seafaring history, and many famous people have been inspired by the landscapes and communities of Cape Cod.
Many historic colonial homes remain on the Cape, especially in Sandwich, Cape Cod’s oldest town. Mashpee is home to part of the Wampanoag Tribe whose ancestors met the first European settlers at First Encounter Beach. Remarkable landscapes are evidence of ancient glaciers and indigenous people have lived on Cape Cod for over 10,000 years. Each area has a distinct atmosphere and intriguing history. Nantucket is the only town on Nantucket, and many small islands around the Cape are private. Martha’s Vineyard’s rural villages of Aquinnah and West Tisbury sit on the “up-island” west side, while the port communities of Edgartown, Oak Bluffs, and Vineyard Haven are “down-island” to the east. South of the Cape, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket feature island towns surrounded by lighthouses and coastal landscapes. The Lower Cape stretches to the eastern shore through Brewster and Chatham, then north to the Outer Cape communities of Provincetown, Wellfleet, and Orleans. The seven villages of Barnstable include popular destinations like Hyannis, Cotuit, and Marstons Mills. The Mid-Cape region covers Barnstable, Yarmouth, and Dennis, each with its own distinct villages. Coming from the mainland, the Upper Cape extends east through Bourne, Sandwich, and Falmouth.
