Cape Cod

“A man may stand there and put all America behind him.” Henry David Thoreau
The Cape Cod National Seashore encompasses 43,607 acres on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts. It was created on August 7, 1961, by President John F. Kennedy, when he signed a bill enacting the legislation he first co-sponsored as a Senator a few years prior.

Forty miles of pristine sandy beach, marshes, ponds, and uplands support diverse species. Lighthouses, cultural landscapes, and wild cranberry bogs offer a glimpse of Cape Cod’s past and continuing ways of life. Swimming beaches and walking and biking trails beckon today’s visitors.
