"Cape Cod, a hook-shaped peninsula of the U.S. state of Massachusetts, is a popular summertime destination. It's the site of quaint villages, New England Cuisine, lighthouses, ponds, and bay and ocean beaches. In the large town of Hyannis, the John F. Kennedy Museum is the first stop on the Kennedy Legacy Trail through downtown, where ferries depart to the resort islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket." ― Google
Cape Cod is around 60 miles south of Boston, Massachusetts, and was formed when the last glaciers melted about 12,000-years ago, leaving a large lake. Because of special features surrounding the glacial lake, the water drained, leaving behind the sediment and previous glaciers.
And, the geological shaping of the Cape continues today. Which makes Cape Cod a great place to experience nature.
