What To Expect

Salt Pond Visitor Center

A little farther on, we'll arrive at the Salt Pond Visitor Center. This miniature museum is the perfect opportunity to catch up on some extra Cape history, use the bathroom, or just stretch your legs.

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.

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!

Provincetown

Provincetown is at the northern tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The seaside town is on the site of the Mayflower’s landing in 1620, commemorated by the towering Pilgrim Monument and neighboring Provincetown Museum. P-town is known as a longtime haven for artists, lesbians and gay men.

Herring Cove Beach

Herring Cove is unique from the other beaches you've seen so far. It's not located on the turgid ocean, but on the insulated bay. The relative calm makes this a great location for swimming without worrying about the undertow. The placid waves are also peaceful for painters, beachcombers, and sunbathers.

Race Point Lighthouse

Race Point Light is a historic lighthouse on Cape Cod, in Provincetown, Massachusetts; it is on the National Register of Historic Places. The original tower, first illuminated in 1816, was replaced in 1876 with the current 45-foot tall iron-plated tower and a new keeper's dwelling.

Beech Forest

Provincetown isn't all beaches… there's also beech TREES. If you aren't already tired from the day's adventures, you might consider checking out Beech Forest Hiking Trail. The one-mile loop takes you around Blackwater Pond. With its combination of fresh water and trees, this is one of Provincetown's premiere birdwatching locations. Springtime visitors will undoubtedly see a ton of nesting birds in the treetops.

A really good app tour. It follows your course and locates where you are before starting each point/section. It can be a little glitchy sometimes and start the next section before finishing the previous one so you may miss a bit. Would recommend it less for solo travellers as trying to drive and keep control of the app can be a little difficult. Great way of exploring though. Oh, and allow a minimum of 4 hours!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Steven! I’m thrilled that my tour of the Cape Cod - Audio Tour Guide added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. You guys appear to be driving a little fast, which is why the following portion will play. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks, scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, to remind you, the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit.

The tour gives you a great chance to drive and get bits of history at the same time. First encounter between Pilgrims and Native Americans was truly awesome.

Thanks so much Alexandra! I'm thrilled that my tour added to your learning and that you enjoyed it. The Native Americans welcomed the arriving immigrants and helped them survive; it's fascinating to learn about that period of history. I also have 100 other self-guided tours for other parks as well as scenic drives, cities, and historic sites in the US — hopefully, you’ll get the chance to try them next time! Also, just to remind you that the tour you bought is yours for a lifetime. So, you can listen to it at home or on your next visit also.

The audio tour was interesting and informative. The street directions were a bit hard to follow. We saw some great sights.

Thanks Terry! I’m thrilled you enjoyed driving along Cape Cod all the way to Provincetown. Should I focus on clarifying the street info in downtown Provincetown? I hope you get the chance to try my other tours on future trips!
