Top American Beach Vacations This Summer

Head of the Meadow Beach – Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Most people don’t picture beach vacations when they think of Massachusetts. However, Head of the Meadow Beach (located along the Cape Cod National Seashore) is one of the most underrated vacation spots in the state.

Not only are there plenty of opportunities for swimming and other water sports, Head of the Meadow Beach allows camping, so you can sleep a few feet away from the water if you’re feeling adventurous. There have been over 1,000 shipwrecks in this area, and you can even see the wreck of the Frances, which sunk in 1872, from the beach during low tide.
