Description
A guide to the sandy beaches, old whaling towns, lighthouses, cranberry bogs and sheltered coves of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.
The region includes probably the most perfect bird-watching trails within the Northeast of america: salt marsh walks, woodland rambles, beach strolls, flora and fauna refuges, and the 40-mile-long Cape Code National Seashore. With a climate tempered by the sea, summers lingering into fall and winters are mild enough for all year-round climbing. Of the 35 walks described on this edition, 24 are mainland jaunts, 7 explore Martha’s Vineyard, and 4 are on Nantucket. Every description features a map, directions to the trailhead and remark on local and natural history.
