The sheltered bay side of Cape Cod has its advantages, including quiet beaches and shallow swimming areas.
There's much to see and many things to do on Cape Cod, but the seashore and its beaches are still the biggest draw.
The South Shore has its beautiful beaches too, including Horseneck in Westport.
From Bourne to Provincetown, just about every town has at least one beach. Tall sand dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore frame its clean, white beaches.
On the islands, it's all about the beaches. Martha's Vineyard's Moshup Beach was the Travel Channel's pick for one of the Best Walking Beaches in America.
Crane Beach, Good Harbor and Wingaersheek are just a few of the popular beaches of Massachusetts' North Shore. Gloucester, Ipswich, Salisbury and Plum Island are top vacation spots.
Although some of the more popular beaches are further from the city, Boston and the Harbor Islands have a few good locations for cooling off.
