Speckled with still-active cranberry bogs, sturdy trees, and pastures, the Lower Cape exudes a peaceful residential aura. Rich in history and Cape flavor, Brewster and Harwich stand opposite each other in the area just shy of the Cape's elbow. Harwich, farther inland, has antique homes, rambling old burial grounds, and a modest town center with shops, restaurants, museums, churches, and public parks. Brewster is similarly historical; examples of Victorian, Greek Revival, and colonial architecture abound, most meticulously preserved. Many homes have been converted to welcoming guesthouses and bed-and-breakfasts. (Foders.com)
Cape Cod is a land at sea: More than 500 miles of coast and beaches for every taste. Our guarantee: The salt air will make you hungry. Luckily, the ocean will provide the choicest of morsels: Wellfleet oysters, Chatham mussels, Provincetown swordfish, and Harwich lobsters to name a few. Dig in. (Foders.com)
