Planning a Trip

The Cape is really many capes: tony in some places, tacky in others; in patches a nature lover's dream, a living historical treasure, or a hotbed of creativity. This chapter will introduce you to the Cape's top spots and steer you there smoothly; for international visitors there are essential information, helpful tips, and advice on the more common problems that you may encounter while vacationing in Cape Cod and the islands.

Internet Access -- To find cybercafes, check www.cybercaptive.com and www.cybercafe.com. Though they are rare on the Cape and islands, you will find good ones in Provincetown and on Nantucket. In addition, almost every library on the Cape has free Internet access.
