I visited Cape Cod a few years ago and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was the first time I ate scallops and I haven’t been able to find any as good as I had on that trip. The seafood in Cape Cod is just amazing. And Chatham is a great place to visit. I recommend it to all of my friends whenever they are looking for a fun getaway.
