The Cape is cool... but 
Cape Cod is cool.  I grew up there.

It's like another world on the Cape - the winding roads through the quait, small villages.  In the summer, the population explodes exponentially, and in the winter it can seem like a ghostscape, especially on a dark day.

The Cape Cod natives would just as well you stay home and leave their little world alone, but tourist income during the peak months keep them going during the long off-season.

The crown jewel of Cape Cod, IMHO, is Provincetown or "P-Town."  Walking Commercial Street is a treat, as cars try to worm their way through the sometimes massive crowds.  It is one street where pedestrians truly have the right of way.  I think of Commerclal St as the original "strip mall" because you'll find so many quaint and out-of-the-way shoppes and eating establishments. (You gotta try the Fried Ipswitch Clams!!!)

But, also know that Provincetown is one of the Gay Meccas of the North America.  Many establishments, especially motels and guesthouses, cater to gay preferences, although you will not be mistreated, shunned, or denied service anywhere, just be ready to see two people of the same sex embraced in a passionate kiss right in the middle of the street.  If you're all about "traditional family values," you may consider another destination.
