Tour Cape Cod Lighthouses -- Stay Centrally at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa

Saviors of fishermen, sailors, and whalers, the lighthouses of Cape Cod

guided ships to safety. When planning your vacation, be sure to include the beautiful lighthouses of Cape Cod. The Northern end of the Cape was once spotted with 9 different lighthouses.

A 10 minute drive from the Inn will bring you to Nauset Light. This lighthouse has a red painted top to distinguish it from Chatham and Highland Light.

Continuing towards Nauset High School you will pass the Three Sisters Lighthouses. These three lighthouses were acquired by the National Parks Services, and were moved to their present sight in 1983. Restoration began in 1988. Work was completed in 1989 and they sit 150 feet apart in their original configuration.

Over on the Bay side of Cape Cod, there once stood the Billingsgate Light. Due to erosion that lighthouse no longer exists, but the shoal where it once stood offers great fishing. The Mayo Beach Light has been moved to California, but the foundation still exists at a private home in Wellfleet. There was also the Pamet Light at Snow's Beach, but nothing of it exists today. There isn't even a picture of it.

Traveling up Route 6 in Truro is the Highland Light. Tours are offered daily. The climb up offers amazing views of the Atlantic. It is part of the National Seashore and is an active light in aiding navigation. (Around it sits the first links golf course. Not only do you play golf, but you enjoy many wondrous vistas of the lighthouse and the ocean.)

Following along Route 6, you come next to Race Point Light. This lighthouse is actively used for navigation. The keeper's house and the whistle house have been restored and are available for overnight stays.

Wood End Light is built at the elbow of the sandbar in Provincetown. This lighthouse is fully automated by solar panels and batteries.

Long Point Light is situated at the very tip of Provincetown. The lighthouse works on solar power and the outlying buildings have all been taken down. This light also remains very active in navigation.

There are many great sights where you can plan your own lighthouse tour. So book your room today -- and stay mid-week in September for three nights and check to see which rooms are available for the $40 off per night.

Golf Cape Cod--Eastham, Central to Great Golf Courses

Golfing on Cape Cod offers some unique experiences for both the novice and the fine tuned player. The vistas on some of the Cape courses are truly breathtaking, others take you through woods and over rivers, all the while challenging your abilities.

Brewster is the home of the Captains Golf Course (Port and Starboard) offering 36 holes and voted one of the best public golf courses in the Boston Area. Also, this course challenges the men, but is one of the top 100 women friendly golf courses in the Country. This environmentally friendly course is visually interesting, while still strategically challenging.

For a country club feel, playing at The Chequessett Yacht and Country Club is quite a treat. It is a nine hole course, and4 of those are very challenging (all those water traps). Hole number 3 with the steep incline can wear you down. However, once you are at the top, there is a great vista of Cape Cod Bay -- watching the sailboats from the top of three is worth the climb.

After you finish that 9 you can have lunch at the Bookstore in Wellfleet -- yummy oysters fresh from the Bay and great fish sandwiches. Now that your strength is restored, drive up to Highland Golf Links course, another 9 holes to challenge your techniques. The second hole has a tricky dog leg, but just aim left and you should be fine. Here, too, you have views to die for. Imagine playing with a lighthouse in the background, and then walking up a slight incline and the Atlantic is spread out before your eyes.

If par 3 courses are your favorite, Blue Rock Golf Course has some tricky holes, especially the ones that go over the water. The river must be paved in golf balls. There are some mean sand traps there too, with some large overhangs that get in the way of getting out of the trap. All in all, it is a fun course and can be a confidence booster. (Keeps one coming back to the game.)

Hyannis Golf Club is surrounded by woods, and has some of the best greens around. A lot of the fairways are surrounded on both sides with hills, sometimes to ones advantage and other times -- well, you know!

So take advantage of the beautiful summer weather on Cape Cod and book your room at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa, have a hearty gourmet breakfast, and then enjoy some Cape Cod Golf when you are not communing with nature at the beach.
