Cape Cod National Seashore is a federally protected area that encompasses some of the most beautiful coastline in the United States. It's especially well known for the Cape Cod Canal, a man-made waterway that connects Cape Cod Bay to Buzzards Bay. However, Cape Cod National Seashore is also home to another famous route: the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Massachusetts. This route was famously traced by Henry David Thoreau, and today visitors can explore it for themselves. The coastline offers stunning views of the Atlantic, as well as a chance to see some of the local wildlife. Whether you're an experienced hiker or simply looking for a pleasant walk, Cape Cod National Seashore is definitely worth a visit.
