Within the pages of this book are tours of select locations around the beautiful Cape Cod peninsula. The author and guide is a 12th-generation Cape Codder. Readers are taken from one end of Cape Cod to the other, following succinct, clear directions, and provided with engaging information about each site along the way. There are many well-known attractions listed here, but also many less recognized spots that only "locals" would truly know and treasure: popular beaches; historic homes; lighthouses from Sandwich; sites around the Cape via Provincetown, Chatham, Falmouth, and back to Bourne. This book goes deeper into the soul of Cape Cod. It will leave the reader and visitor feeling as if they are one with the land, much as the author does. With all the locations listed in geographical order, it is possible to walk, bike, and drive the Cape, seeing everything conveniently and simply.

Thirty miles off the Cape Cod shore sits the quaint historic island of Nantucket, the Far Away Island. Once one of the richest towns in America thanks to its leading role in the whaling industry, the island reinvented itself in the twentieth century as a destination spot for tourists. This traveler's guide takes you on a round-the-island tour, noting its infamous cobblestone streets, world-renowned restaurants, museums, fabulous shops, and acres of conservation lands. You'll discover the historic homes, lighthouses, and beaches that make the island famous, but also some truly incredible locations only a local would know. Brant Point Lighthouse, the Nantucket Whaling Museum, Madaket Beach, and 'Sconset Village are only the beginning. See why Nantucket is a favorite vacation spot for everyone from families with young children to corporate executives looking for a paradise to truly get away from it all.
