The vacation paradise of Cape Cod, Massachusetts is situated on a peninsula that juts out 40 miles into the Atlantic Ocean. During summer, the population swells, but the rest of the year the tourists dwindle to a mere trickle. Activities for guests of Cape Cod vacation rentals can include fishing, sailing, golf, parasailing, bicycling, hiking, shopping, sightseeing and any number of outdoor pursuits.

From your Cape Cod vacation rental you can explore nearly 100 beaches. Sandy Neck Beach, near Sandwich, is popular due to its six miles of silky soft sand, and for the endangered piping plovers birds that nest there. The beach offers a 360-degree view of the ocean, and hiking trails wind their way through the dunes. Surfers have staked a claim at Coast Guard Beach.

Hardings Beach, in South Cape, is a popular neighborhood beach, and is a great spot for kids of all ages. Another great family beach for guests of Cape Cod vacation rentals is Falmouth Heights Beach, in Falmouth, with its wide swaths of sand, accompanied by glorious mansions overlooking the beach. Cape Cod National Seashore, located on the Outer Cape, offers 27,000 acres of stunningly beautiful beaches, 60-foot sand dunes, steep cliffs, salt ponds, and woodland areas.

Cape Cod is located in the migratory path of more than 300 species of birds. Guests of Cape Cod vacation rentals will find great bird watching at the Ashumet Holly & Wildlife Sanctuary in East Falmouth.
