# 1 Things to do on Cape Cod- The Beach

# 2 Things to do on Cape Cod – Lighthouses

There are 13(!) lighthouses on Cape Cod stretching from Falmouth all the way to Provincetown and they are spectacular!  Some can be toured, others just appreciated for their history and design.  Each lighthouse is pretty straightforward in terms of design but, each also has its own unique character and special place on the Cape.  The shifting sands make this area treacherous for ships, especially back in the day.  The story is that there are enough shipwrecks that if you put them end to end they would stretch from Provincetown to the tip of the Monomoy Peninsula…that’s a lot of wrecks and that’s why we have a bunch of great lighthouses for your to enjoy!

The best way to see the Cape is by bike.  A slower pace, the sun on your face, and you are in for a day not soon forgotten.  The Platinum Pebble Boutique Inn has complimentary bikes for Guests to enjoy and the Cape Cod Rail Trail is minutes away.  Explore the best of Cape Cod at your pace and pass ice cream shops, multiple town’s quaint Main Streets, fresh water lakes for a swim, ride through the forests of Nickerson State Park, or just explore the side streets that lead to the many beaches and find your own secret spot.
