Hyannis, Cape Cod, MA Spring 2001—Cape Cod has no palm trees. It boasts no fairy tale castles. Nor are there casinos. All it has is what Providence, in its eternal wisdom, saw fit to endow it with—incredible beauty, ethereal light and inspiring terrain surrounded by a nurturing water cocoon. This natural paradise is a perfect starting point for romance. Just provide the lovers—Cape Cod will do the rest. On Cape Cod, regardless the time of year, romance is always in season. Our beautiful environment—15 stunning towns and scores of seaside villages—surrounded by 559.6 miles of incomparable coastline and more than 100 beaches evoke romance and reverie. Lovers will find it impossible to resist one another while viewing one of our burnished sunsets. Old King’s Highway—Route 6A—secrets four centuries of American architecture and scores of legends. It is America’s largest historic district, covering some 40 miles and 381 years of American history. (During a Route 6A idyll, any turn to the north brings one to Cape Cod Bay—a favorite proposal spot.)  Wend your way along our peninsula. There are surprises around every curve, as spectacular and inspiring vistas reveal themselves. Imagine finding that perfect engagement or wedding ring—one that is truly one-of-a-kind—in a small Cape jewelry shop housed in a 300 year old house. Such a find and purchase will likely bring back a lifetime of happy memories. Romance your lady or gentleman in one of our historic, indulgent country inns, where original antebellum wallpaper and indigenous antique furniture roll back the centuries and crank up the romance. Many Cape lodgings feature working fireplaces, canopy beds, breakfasts in bed and whirlpools and Jacuzzis. What could be more romantic? Cape dining is as romantic as it is delicious. Select a hearthside table, order champagne and sample each other’s entrees. Hold hands under the table, share your desserts and promise to love each other forever. After making these covenants, seal them with a moon-lit beach walk, and let the evening waves and fleecy nocturnal clouds be your witnesses. Cape Cod is also the perfect wedding and honeymoon venue. With dozens of dreamy white clapboard, spired churches, more than 100 pristine beaches or enchanting gardens as the backdrop, make your vows in an unforgettable Cape location. Imagine a seaside, lighthouse or pier wedding, certainly venues hard to forget. After the ceremony and reception, newlyweds won’t have far to drive to their Cape Cod dream honeymoon. Already marrieds will find renewal and rejuvenation along these shores, on our beaches and along its many bowered byways. Romantic venues can be found all over Cape Cod, from Buzzards Bay and oceanfront sunsets to full moons over Nantucket Sound, hand-in-hand walks along Hyannis’ Main Street or Provincetown’s Commercial Street. Trek along towering dunes or take an unearthly dune tour in a four wheel vehicle. Picnic in a hidden spot accessed only by canoe or kayak or enjoy a lobster bake on the beach. Romantic lodging and dining venues are the norm here.  Cape Cod is a place many folks
know from the time they are children. In later years, these shores
are remembered with more than enthusiastic delight. Oddly, this
place of eternal warring between the sea and land, elicits peace
and rejuvenation to pilgrims who cross our bridges. Visitors
to these shores feel free to express true feelings in this altogether
