Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is a popular getaway destination in New England. The cape has been home to the Kennedys and was made famous by Rupert Holmes in the 1970s classic "Pina Colada Song." Whale-watching tours, sea-kayaking, beachcombing, fishing and sailing can all be found and enjoyed around the cape. New England towns such as Hyannis offer gourmet restaurants and antique shopping. RV travelers to the cape have several options for parks and campgrounds to park and set-up up a base camp.
