Your stay on Cape Cod will be filled with fun, beauty and adventure. We've put together
this list of fantastic things to see and do here to help you make the most of your Cape
Cod experience.

Visit Nauset Light, Eastham
Before this lighthouse was moved from Chatham, three towers, the Three Sisters, served the
area. They are on display a hundred yards from the present light. Follow Rt 6 to Eastham.
Take Nauset Rd, next to the Salt Pond Visitor Center, then Ocean View Dr. to Nauset Light
Beach.
Highland Light & Historical Museum
In 1797 George Washington ordered the construction of the Cape's first lighthouse to warn
sailors of the area known as the "Graveyard of Ships." The current beacon, with over 620,000
candlepower, is the most powerful light in New England; ships from 30 miles away can
identify this landmark. In July 1996, the lighthouse, then only 100'away from an
ever-eroding cliff, was moved west 450-feet to its current location. Take Route 6 to Truro.
Follow signs to Highland Light off Highland Rd.
