| Cape Cod Travel Guide for backpackers |
| This very popular tourist destination is a beautiful mix of woodland, marshes, and picturesque harbours. Comprising fifteen different towns there is something for all travellers from hiking, biking, sailing or golfing for the active people and exploring or just lazing on the fine beaches for those looking for simple relaxation. |

 DAILY BUDGET in CAPE COD - Camping, or staying in hostels, and cooking your own food, should see you right on US$50 a day, but for a more memorable time with some comfort in cheap hotels and some decent food at mid-range restaurants, with a little left over for sight-seeing, then rather budget on about US$ 100 per day. |
Beaches - From the amazing waves of Cisco Beach to the quiet out-of-the-way spots where you can soothe your inner self or whatever the latest fad is, Cape Cod has them all.
Martha's Vineyard - Just seven miles south of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard has a century-old fairground carousel, elegant old Victorian terraced cottages, and Edgartown of ‘Jaws' fame, that is the oldest settlement on the island.
Nantucket - With its cobbled carriageways and carefully restored old buildings, Nantucket beats even Boston with the number of buildings it has registered with on the National Register of Historic Places.
|
Arno's - 41 Main St, a wide range of foods are served here, with great man-sized breakfasts, and the prices are good.
The Juice Bar - 12 Broad Street, this hole-in-the-wall gem of a place, serves excellent ice-cream and all things fattening like superb homemade hot fudge.
Provisions - 3 Harbour Sq, sandwiches, soups, muffins, or salads are all available at this inexpensive sandwich shop.
|
Boarding House - 21 Federal, cool scene, great for meeting singles.
The Muse - 44 Atlantic Ave, pizzas, subs, and beer, dancing to the sounds of live rock bands, and a pool table, make this one of the most popular places for the younger set.
The Chicken Box - 12 Dave St , reggae, funk, and rock get the crowd going, and beer, shots, and mixed drinks, keeps them bopping in this thirty year old establishment.
