Stay : Cabotage between the islands of Cape Cod
Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket offer superb beaches, cliffs that make you dizzy, waves appreciated by surfers, hiking trails... It is ideal for a sporty stay! On the other hand, hotels and restaurants are expensive, especially in summer. Avoid this season, because there are too many tourists, and prefer September, during the pleasant Indian summer, or spring
