Mid Cape
Map of Mid Cape
More a colloquialism than a proper name, the designation "Mid Cape" refers to central Cape Cod, the most heavily populated -- and touristed -- part of the peninsula. To the north lies tranquil Cape Cod Bay, laced with wide beaches, inlets, creeks, and marshes. The tides on the bay are dramatic -- at dead low some beaches double in size as tidal flats stretch out for hundreds to thousands of feet. The calmer waters on the bay side make these beaches particularly suitable for kids, and when the tide is out, they can explore and play in the tidal pools left behind.
