The Cape and Islands

The southeastern corner of the state of Massachusetts — including Cape Cod and the islands of Martha’s Vineyard (left) and Nantucket (right) — is visible in this Overview. Known as “The Cape and Islands,” this region is a popular destination for its historic, maritime character and miles of beaches. Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket have year-round populations of about 16,500 and 14,000, respectively, but swell to more than 100,000 and 50,000 residents during the summer months.
