Cape Cod Named One Of Best Family Vacation Spots In America

Cape Cod has been named one of the best family vacation spots in America.

Conde Nast Traveler, a travel magazine, listed Cape Cod among seven of the best family vacation spots in the United States, crediting it as fitting "every need" for families including distance, affordability, dining options, activities for all ages and safety.

Here's what Conde Nast Traveler said made Cape Cod the perfect family vacation destination:

“For a dose of family fun, visit the historic, 48-foot-tall Nauset Lighthouse, which dates back to the 19th century and played an important role in the area’s maritime history, and spend the rest of the day communing with nature at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, where kids can learn about the area’s wildlife and habitats on a 45-minute clue-filled quest. The Villages at Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club, at the northern tip of the peninsula, has a massive pool, plus activities for kids of all ages, from oyster bed tours and tennis lessons to stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking on its very own Blueberry Pond.”

Other destinations listed on Conde Nast Traveler's list of the best family vacation spots in the U.S. included Catalina Island, California; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Alexandria, Virginia; Finger Lakes, New York; Moab, Utah; and Hilton Head, South Carolina.
