Boston & Cape Cod Road Trip

Go from city to coast by combining a stay in Boston with a New England-style beach break.

Boston dates to the 1600s, and its history is alive and vibrant in its hordes of heritage sites. A couple of hours’ drive away, the bustle of the city fades away as Cape Cod welcomes you with sandy beaches, quaint towns, and succulent seafood.

Boston

An east coast gem

In the pantheon of historic American cities, Boston might snatch the top spot. Soaked in the Revolutionary period, its key sights are an obvious draw for history buffs. But don’t overlook its impressive culinary scene, architecture, culture, and sports. The cradle of American history and the revolution that gave birth to America as we know it is most palpable in the downtown heart of Boston. The waymarked Freedom Trail includes Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Quincy Market, and the 18th-century Old State House, where independence was proclaimed.

Cape Cod

Beach bound…

Pick up your hire car in Boston and head south to Cape Cod. It’s not a long journey – you’ll be there in a couple of hours, depending on where in Cape Cod you decide to stay. This sliver of New England is pure seaside escapism, with quaint inns aplenty and picture-perfect towns lined with cutesy ice cream parlours and classic General Stores. Steady those sea legs – Provincetown is a springboard for whale-watching cruises. Or visit Cape Cod National Seashore, a 40-mile arc of pristine white sand flanking the Cape’s outer shore. It’s heaven for cyclists, but you don’t have to be a pro to cycle the long, smooth Shining Sea Bikeway. Kids in trailers are commonplace as families hop between beaches, with grownups pointing out wild cranberry bogs, pretty ponds, and lighthouses to the small ones in tow.
