Cape Cod - Landsat 7.jpg
Cape Cod (or simply The Cape) is an arm-shaped peninsula forming the Easternmost portion of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, in the Northeastern United States. It is coextensive with Barnstable County. Although Cape Cod was originally connected to the mainland, the Cape Cod Canal, completed in 1914, effectively transformed Cape Cod into a large island.
