Colourful 19th-century gingerbread cottages surround the town of Oak Bluffs' Ocean Park, a beautiful park with a bandstand and a playground. These cottages, along with the Tabernacle at Inkwell Beach, and the 1876 Flying Horses Carousel with 48 hand-carved horses, made the town a historic summer haven.

DAY 3 CAPE COD CANAL, MA
Connecting Cape Cod Bay with Buzzards Bay, the Cape Cod Canal is a broad waterway stretching 17.4 miles. Opened in 1914, this scenic passage was built to shorten the journey between Boston and New York, meaning ships no longer had to navigate the windy route around the cape. Boats pass along this engineered passageway beneath 1930s steel-arch bridges like the Railroad Bridge where armoured trains once rolled.
DAY 3 PROVINCETOWN, MA
At Cape Cod's northern tip, Provincetown commemorates the Pilgrims' 1620 Mayflower landing with the towering Pilgrim Monument and history exhibits at Provincetown Museum. Once a whaling port, it thrived as an arts haven in the late 1800s, drawing writers and artists. Today, P-town is renowned for its galleries, theatres, vibrant nightlife, and LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere. Nearby, Stellwagen Bank sanctuary hosts humpback, fin and minke whales.
