Cape Cod is one of my favorite places to go in the summer. Yes, it is crowded and the roads are jammed with traffic, but it doesn't stop me from going there from time to time. It still holds sentimental appeal to me as it is the honeymoon spot of my mother and father when they were married.
The Cape Cod National Seashore is rated as one of the top beaches in the States and no wonder. The gentle sand dunes, classic lighthouses and sharp blue water make it a one-of-a kind beach. There is a quaintness about the Cape that is hard to beat.
When I stayed at the Cape a couple summers ago, I was able to find a hotel right withing walking distance to the local beach, restaurants and gift shops. As I was walking past an inlet of water by the road, I saw local families out digging for clams. There were even spectators nearby on their lawn chairs watching the action as if they were out at a parade. Just extraordinary.
I enjoy going to the Cape and just unwinding. I get into a routine of peacefulness that rejunvenates my soul: going out for a walk in the morning, having breakfast, going to the beach for the day, reading my books or listening to music-all at my own pace and time schedule. Hopefully, this year I would like to make my way over there again. There is something magical about the Cape and New England in general.
