Travelers can get swept along with busy Rte 6 traffic, missing out on what Eastham has to offer. It’s worth it to slow down and match pace with the town’s leisurely one. A visit to the town green is to stumble upon the Cape’s oldest working windmill. First Encounter Beach on the Cape Cod Bay side is where hunters from the Mayflower first met Native Americans. A third of Eastham is within the Cape Cod National Seashore. Nauset Lighthouse overlooks the Atlantic and the Salt Pond Visitor Center offers exhibits on Cape Cod history and its environment. There are trails through micro-environments such as the Red Maple Swamp. Along with scenic opportunities overlooking the open Atlantic, Eastham also has the sheltered Nauset Marsh. The town has its share of lodging, restaurants and shops to enjoy.  For more information visit...www.easthamchamber.com

Wellfleet has the ambience of an art colony with its galleries and photogenic architecture. Wellfleet oysters are famous and shipped around the world. Once called Billingsgate, the town was incorporated in 1763. The name may be derived from the words "whale fleet" as Wellfleet had 30 whalers during the whaling era. Marconi Wireless Station overlooks the Atlantic, famous for transmitting the first wireless telegraph in 1903. The headquarters of the National Seashore is in town and more than half of its land lies within the Seashore. On the opposite coast is Wellfleet Bay. The Wellfleet Audubon Society Wildlife Center attracts nature lovers as does the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp. Adults who visited Wellfleet as children may remember the Cape’s only drive-in theater. It’s still there.  For more information visit...www.wellfleetchamber.com

Golfers on the Highland Links course in Truro might think they were in Scotland, due to the type of course they’re playing and its wonderful views of the Atlantic and of Highland Light nearby. The lighthouse is the oldest on Cape Cod, built in 1797, rebuilt in 1857, and moved back from its eroding bluff in the 1990s. The views in Truro are spectacular, whether you’re on the Cape Cod Bay side with its sunsets over the water and its rows of picturesque cabins built on a stretch of beach or the open Atlantic with its pounding surf and shifting dunes. The Cape Cod National Seashore comprises more than 60% of the town and the town’s population is the smallest on Cape Cod.  For more information visit www.trurochamberofcommerce.com

Provincetown fits many descriptions. It’s a town synonymous with the LGBT community; it’s an art colony and a community of fishermen, many of them Portuguese. These descriptions need not have distinct boundaries; often they overlap. Ultimately, a picture is worth more than words: take a trip down Commercial Street and everything that is Provincetown is there. There are all the shops and restaurants and people to watch that you would expect, but with everything sensory turned up a notch. There’s the Portuguese Festival and Carnival in summer. In winter, the street is quiet and bleakly beautiful. Provincetown has the Pilgrim Monument, commemorating this part of Provincetown’s history. The Pilgrims landed here in 1620 and the Mayflower Compact was signed on board their ship in Provincetown Harbor. From the top of the tower, a panorama of the Cape unrolls.  For more information visit...www.ptownchamber.com
