This resort town could be said to sit in the middle of the muscle of Cape Cod's flexed arm. You can visit the Sturgis Library which contains extensive geneological and maritime collections. Its original building was constructed in 1644 giving it the distinction of being the oldest library building in the U.S. In addition to numerous yachts and pleasure craft, Barnstable harbor offers a chance to take both deep sea fishing and whale watching cruises. Sandy Neck, a long spit of land between the harbor and Cape Cod Bay, provides miles of sand beaches, grassy dunes and excellent swimming.
