With town names reminiscent of England: Chatham, Harwich, Falmouth and Barnstable, there are a host of historical and cultural experiences such as Heritage Plantation, Provincetown, Hyannis and nearby Plimoth–Plantation. Whale watching from June to late October is a must during your stay on the Cape. Quaint villages with speciality shops and excellent dining opportunities round out this perfect vacation destination. 

A 40 minute ferry ride from Cape Cod or a short flight from New York and Boston, Martha’s Vineyard has always been a quiet haven for the rich and famous. With its rustic and unspoilt beaches, wildlife refuges, bike trails and quiet roads you can enjoy leisurely pursuits, particularly if you feel the need to work off the meals you will enjoy in the many excellent restaurants!

With a wonderfully varied landscape, historic properties and cobblestoned streets, Nantucket takes you back to a gentler time. More than 800 preserved buildings are found here with one–third of Nantucket’s 50 square miles designated as conservation land.
