While thousands flock to the Cape every year for its wonderful seashore and all of the fun in the sun and water that comes with that, Cape Cod has much more to offer than simply sun bathing and swimming. When you look to get away from the beach you can visit a lighthouse, take in a Cape Code League baseball game, or hit the links for some golf. Cape Cod also has a vibrant arts and entertainment scene, numerous wonderful museums, and many interesting and entertaining attractions to provide diversion from the beach, or give you things to do when, heaven forbid, it is cloudy or raining. Following are some of Cape Cod’s more memorable attractions and things to do.
