Past Adventures: Cape Cod

02/21/13 | Cape Cod, East Coast, Massachusetts, New England, Past Adventures, The Americas, United States

Welcome to day four of past adventures! So far on my bucket list I have recounted my visits to the gorgeous country of South Africa, the ruined city Pompeii, Italy and the historic capital of London, England and today I am taking it back to the United States! I have had the pleasure to visit Cape Cod on multiple occasions. Many people, even in New York City, are not sure where Cape Cod is – it is the eastern most point of the state of Massachusetts. If you are driving it is five hours north of New York City or an hour and a half south east of Boston.
Over the past 10 years I have spent many wonderful long weekends in this absolutely beautiful place.  It is the New England version of a perfect beach, sun, sand, and relaxation.  I have been able to relax and really be myself with great friends and family here. My second favorite part of visiting, though, are the amazing sunsets!
These photos of sunsets over the sandbars I took over the course of a decade and as the sun quickly sets it seems as if these sand bar flats go on for miles.  I am not going to indicate which evenings or even which years I took these photos, they are simply gorgeous and I hope you enjoy!

And finally, over my years of visiting this is perhaps the best photo I have taken:

What do you think of these sunsets?

    I love the Cape! It’s so quaint and pretty! There’s an amazing clam strip place there that’s like a little hunt…I can’t remember the name of it, but I used to go all the time growing up!
