Customer Reviews

This book is Priceless!
Even though I had been traveling to Cape Cod every summer for 25 years and thought I had seen it all, this book opened up a whole new world for me. There is something for everyone here, plus all of the hidden gems that are uncovered in each town. Not only is the author a good researcher and reporter, she's an excellent writer as well, which is part of what sets this book apart and makes it so enjoyable. My regret is that I didn't find it sooner; it could've changed my last decade.

disappointed
This book was not helpful! The directions to various places were terrible and the restaurants very out of date. Plus, it described some beaches as lovely that were awful. I will definitely not use it again.
