Beachy. One of my favorite beaches on the eastcoast. The sand is that great, but the water and view are marvelous

Cape Cod. Beautiful but crowded. Maybe east coast folks are just used to this. I think this takes away from the beauty if you have to wait in traffic and fight your way out the Cape.

Cape Great. CapeCod is a beauiful place,especially the beaches.They're arent a ton of people just going to just get a tan. They are actually enjoying the beauty.I just moved to Florida after living on Cape, my whole life yeah Florida has nice sand, and pretty water, but I wouldn't swim in it. First off warm water makes me feel as though there is something in it. Cape's water is not cold, your just not from here. I live on the panhandle right now, and my mother grew up here, and she still thinks that nothing can stop Cape Cods beauty. Hawaii is a very beautiful place, but what island isnt? Too many tourists. And as for no snacks, thats crazy,this is the Cape not Hollywood, nobody is going to bring it for you.Cape Cod is swarming with especially near the NSS with great places to snack, or even stop for dinner.It has some on the top 10 places.

Explore lighthouses, freshwater ponds and saltwater beaches on this breathtaking stretch of historic land.. Overview
Henry David Thoreau hiked much of Cape Cod in another century, but there is precious little of the region he would recognize today. The exception is a 44,000-acre stretch of ocean, bay beaches, marshes, woodlands and moors. Established in 1961, the Cape Cod National Seashore is 40 miles long, stretching from Chatham to Provincetown.

The Appeal
The Cape's human history is just as rich as its natural history. In Provincetown, you can visit the place where the Pilgrims landed in 1620 before sailing across the bay to Plymouth. The National Seashore also has several historic buildings that reflect residents' longtime association with the sea, like the Old Harbor Lifesaving Station in Provincetown. Captain Edward Penniman's 1868 house in Eastham is atypically ornate, a sign of the once-profitable whaling business. Nauset Light is one of five lighthouses within the Seashore.

Cape Cod Beaches. The National Sea Shore is one of New England's treasures. It is pristine as it is beautiful. I can not compare to other beaches of the more tropical variety but it has its own unique beauty. The dunes, the water, the rocky bottom to the water are all unique to the area. Cape Cod is without doubt one of the most beautiful places God created.
