Barnstable County's Quintessential Cape Cod

Barnstable County encompasses the iconic peninsula of Cape Cod, defined by its maritime heritage and glacial landscapes. This collection highlights historic lighthouses like the 19th-century Nauset Light and the Highland Light, the oldest on the Cape. Natural landmarks include the towering dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore and the salt marshes of Wellfleet. Architectural history is preserved at the 17th-century Hoxie House and the Benjamin Godfrey Windmill, while the Sagamore Bridge and the vertical-lift Railroad Bridge serve as the primary gateways to this coastal region.
