Explore the very best sights on Cape Cod with maximum flexibility on this awesome self-guided driving audio tour. Simply hop in your own car, get the tour guide app set up on your phone, and get started. All audio plays automatically based on location.Start from Cape Cod Visitor Center and cruise east through the historic Massachusetts towns. Along the way, you will learn about the Nauset community, who fished and farmed here for thousands of years. Find out about their customs and legends, like the tale of the princess who kept a fish alive with her tears. And hear about their wariness when they spotted mysterious ships approaching from the horizon.Trek down to First Encounter Beach, where you'll hear a detailed account of the battle which broke out between the Pilgrims and the Nausets people when they first met, and later, their first peaceful negotiation. And what’s more New England than lighthouses? As you drive, you'll be guided to Cape Cod's prettiest, loneliest lighthouses, all of which make for perfect photo ops. Learn the importance of these iconic buildings, and hear the harrowing tale that earned the Cape the nickname “ocean graveyard” before the lighthouses were built.Finally, arrive in Provincetown, a thriving epicenter of arts and culture. This colorful, vibrant community is about as far from the dour Pilgrims as you can get. Check out the local art galleries, boutiques, theatres, and embrace the bohemian culture.
