Cape Cod
Cape Cod is a beach located 2-3 hours from Boston where many people from the area go to spend the summer. I was there the last week of August. I found it a very nice place to go to relax and to enjoy with my son. We choosed a hotel in front of the beach called Sandbars Inn. The place was amazing. We did a bbq during the nigths in the sand just in front our room. Very very advisable.http://www.sandbars.com/
