Where to Propose in Cape Cod

Cape Cod, a beautiful coastal area in eastern Massachusetts known for its lovely coastline, charming towns, and idyllic accommodations, is a perfect place to plan a proposal in the spring and summer months. Reserve a room at a romantic B&B, such as the Candleberry Inn, put some bubbly on ice and find the right moment to pop the question. The cape is actually divided into four areas - Upper Cape, Mid Cape, Lower Cape and Outer Cape - and composed of 15 separate but nearby towns. The Cape Cod Travel Guide says, "Cape Cod's 15 towns are not unlike siblings: metaphorical brothers and sisters, sharing some qualities, yet remaining refreshingly different."
