MASSACHUSETTS BEACHES
KATAMA BEACH MARTHAS VINEYARD MASSACHUSETTS has thousands of beaches - no way did I have time to check them all so I confined myself to some on CAPE COD, MARTHAS VINEYARD and NANTUCKET. I tried to concentrate on those beaches the reviews said where above average. BOSTON** is about 210m/340km by road from NYC. It's another 60m/100km until you cross the CAPE COD CANAL which is the western boundary of the Cape. Then it's another 9m/15km to the biggest settlement and main port BARNSTABLE/HYANNIS although you can go a hell of a lot further: trendy PROVINCETOWN in the far north is 62m/100km from the canal.

BOSTON is out of image slightly top right. Correcting the map is very time consuming and I'm feeling lazy - so sue me. CAPE COD CAPE COD is
