What To Expect

Eastham

As we continue our drive, we'll enter Eastham, a perfectly picturesque little Colonial town. We'll also hear about the embattled first encounter between the Pilgrims and the Nauset, the daring assistance offered by Squanto, and the very first Thanksgiving, where the Pilgrims and Nauset celebrated a truce.

Nauset Light Beach

As we continue our drive up the Cape, we'll spot the Nauset Light, the quaint little lighthouse that features in every quintessential Cape Cod photograph. We'll also learn about its importance, and how the Cape's rough waters earned the nickname of "ocean graveyard" before the lighthouse was built.

Nauset Lighthouse

Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary

Another optional detour takes us to the Audubon Wildlife Sanctuary. With five miles of trails through four different biomes, and more species of birds and other critters than you can count, this stop is bound to delight nature enthusiasts, bird watchers, and avid hikers alike.

Marconi Wireless Station

As we continue driving, we'll pass Marconi Station, the first radio station to ever send a wireless message across the Atlantic! The station also played a pivotal role in an infamous oceanic tragedy: the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Learn how a radio station hundreds of miles away saved lives on that fateful day!

Macmillan Pier

As we drive through P-Town, we'll arrive at Macmillan Pier, where thousands of ships have launched over the years. Here, we get to see how past and present really intermingle on the Cape. These days, the pier is mostly used to launch whale watching expeditions.

Pilgrim Monument And Provincetown Museum

Our penultimate stop is the Pilgrim Monument: the tallest all-granite monument in the entire country! Every year since its completion in 1910, thousands of tourists climb the steps of this 250-foot colossus to get a panoramic view of the ocean from the top. It's well worth the trek! Next, we'll hear about the Mayflower Contract, the rough set of laws the Pilgrims set for themselves upon landing in the New World.

Pilgrim's First Landing Park

Finally, we'll end up where it all began: the site where the Mayflower first struck land. Explore the park and imagine what it must have been like for the settlers, after ten harrowing weeks at sea, to step onto Nauset soil right here on November 11th, 1620. Our tour officially ends at this historic stop.

The voice was not loud enough for us senior women. We could not understand what was being said but the idea was great. We had fun seeing new areas and did get out to explore. I would suggest using a stand alone Bluetooth to hook up to the car speakers if available.

Historical info was interesting. Not an enormous amt of sights. Intermittent directions talked over/cancelling audio 😔. I’m a local, it was a nice drive on a cold sunny day. If you are a traveler and stop at the sites and took it all in or used it to help map a trip and augmented it in other ways it would be helpful. Note: the beaches highlighted are not accessible to nonresidents June-September.

Hi Carmen, thanks for taking my Cape Cod Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour! I’m glad you enjoyed the historical insights and found it a nice way to explore on a sunny winter day. If you have suggestions for future updates, let me know. To ensure smooth audio and directions, please follow the speed limit in the app. I recommend checking local regulations for summer beach access, as it can be restricted to non-residents. For more adventures, check my Massachusetts Self-Guided Driving and Walking Tours Bundle, including Salem & the Witch Trials and Freedom Trail—great for exploring at your own pace!
