What is Cape Cod?....a cape (peninsula) jutting out in the Atlantic Ocean attached to Massachusetts. From the entrance to the Cape at the Sagamore Bridge, it is 61 miles to the end of the Cape at Provincetown. Along the way there is wealth of history, marine marvels and ample beaches, making it a perfect spot for fun and family.
Some twenty of our family arrived at two of beach houses in Brewster on Cape Cod Bay. With a beach that extends to the horizon, our half-a-dozen plus grandchildren thought they had arrived in heaven. At the beach at around 10 in the morning with loads of sand toys, beach chairs, ice chests, etc., the kids moved quickly to the tasks of the day----the creation of a multitude of sand castles and a giant dig to Australia (not China). The digging went on for hours providing an enjoyable time for the family to share life stories in the warmth of the sun.
And beyond the miles of beaches is the marine life. In Cape Cod Bay at low tide you can literally walk a mile in 1 inch to 2 feet water and explore for crabs, minnows, oysters and other marine life. So the kids now filled up the sand buckets with many different types of crabs. Life is good!
