Cape Cod

Cape Cod is an arm-shaped peninsula on the easternmost portion of Massachusetts.It is a well-traveled tourist and vacation area, featuring miles and miles of beaches, natural attractions, historic sites, art galleries and many four-star restaurants. The area is also very popular amongst antique enthusiasts and people who enjoy bed and breakfasts. Many opportunities exist here for golf, fishing and other outdoor activities. The town of Provincetown, at the very tip of the peninsula, is the site of the first landing of the Pilgrims.

An Introduction to the Region of Cape Cod

height=500|width=420 Cape Cod can be further sub-divided into the following regions:

Upper Cape towns nearest to the bridges that lead to Cape Cod.

Mid Cape the commercial center.

Lower Cape towns near the elbow of the peninsula.

Outer Cape towns at the end of the peninsula and location of most of the Cape Cod National Seashore. Upper Cape Mid Cape Lower Cape Outer Cape Other Muslim friendly Cities in Cape Cod Cape Cod and The Islands are made up of a diverse array of cities, towns and villages. Upper Cape The towns closest to the mainland offer everything from great antiquing to dining out at some of Cape Cod's finest traditional restaurants. Bourne — Features the Cape Cod Canal.

• Play with your Cape Cod friends: At municipal courses, residents of that town usually get a break on greens fees, and in many cases if a resident books a tee-time for their foursome, everybody in the group gets the lower rate. Additionally, if your friend happens to be member of a fully private (i.e. not open to the public) country club such as Oyster Harbors, they can bring you as their guest for free.
• Play mid-week: Fees are usually $10-20 lower Monday-Thursday, it's also easier to get a good tee-time.
• Play in the afternoon: If you're willing to tee-off after 1PM (instead of the more typical 7AM), rates drop about 25%. Some courses discount greens fees even further after 3PM or later.
• Play Par 3: Often overlooked are the Cape's several Par 3 (sometimes called a "Short Course" or "Pitch and Putt"). These courses are maintained to the same high standards of their Par 72 counterparts with many of the same amenities and beautiful scenery. Additionally, they are also quite challenging (your short game will really be put to the test!) Fees at Par 3 courses tend to be much lower, and playing in the afternoon can be ridiculously cheap. / Holly Ridge Golf Club in Sandwich was featured as a "Best Place to Play" by Golf Digest and is also home to an excellent free summer clinic series.
• Play nine holes: Many courses will let you play the back nine in the early morning (when most foursomes are just starting on the first tee) at a substantial discount.
• Skip the cart: Almost every golfer on the Cape uses a cart, but usually there's nothing saying that you have to. If you're physically able to walk the course, it's great exercise and will save you $20 or more per golfer. A handful of courses do require carts at certain times (e.g. summer weekends) - check with the pro shop when you book your tee-time.
• Play in the offseason: Some (typically municipal) courses on the Cape are open year-round. During the winter season (November–March), golfers are typically offered substantial discounts, as well as a more peaceful experience and the ability to just "show up and play" (in fact, many courses do not even book tee-times come winter.) Cape Cod winters are not usually that cold, just remember your jacket!

• Hiking: Almost any beach can become a perfect hiking trail, of particular note Sandy Neck Beach in Barnstable features miles of walking trails right through the dunes.
• Seal Cruises - Chatham (Massachusetts) | Chatham
• Tennis - There are many tennis clubs scattered across Cape Cod.In Dennis, Mashantum Tennis and Sesuit Tennis are two clay court clubs worth visiting. The former, hidden in woods away from crowds, features fabulous red clay courts.
• Theatre, Cape Cod has a large number of theatres—one in nearly every town as well as a number of festivals including the Provincetown Fringe Festival and Eventide Arts Festival.
• Whale watching Excursions from Barnstable and Provincetown.

Study as a Muslim in Cape Cod

Colleges and universities

• Cape Cod Community College, ("4C's") in West Barnstable is the Cape's single institution of higher education. Those looking to study on Cape Cod will find the college as a friendly place to embark towards their goals, with associates degrees and certificate programs offered. For visitors, the summer semester offers a wide array of credit and non-credit opportunities excellent for those looking to get ahead in their studies elsewhere (credits are transferable) or for an enriching summer activity. Although financial aid is not available for visiting students, tuition is surprisingly affordable for MA residents, with tuition waivers available for senior citizens, veterans, and high school students who scored well on the state MCAS exam.
• Through agreements between 4C's emics/advstudy/ Office of Advanced Studies and several Boston area colleges and universities, such as UMASS, Suffolk, Boston University, and Bridgewater State College, it's now possible to complete an entire bachelors degree and even some graduate programs without ever leaving the Cape. Programs in Business, Communications, Education, and Nursing are offered evenings during the academic year on the 4C's West Barnstable campus, and the degree awarded is from the partner institution.

The arts

• Cape Cod Conservatory, in West Barnstable and Falmouth, offers private and group instruction in music, along with classes in dance, drama, and visual art. Summer programs for children are available.
• Falmouth Artists Guild is a community organization running classes and workshops for children and adults year round in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and more, with a large selection of short summer classes. +1 508-540-3304
• In addition to their full season of productions each year Harwich Junior Theatre also offers classes year-round in acting, musical theater, playwriting, improv, and theater tech for children and teens.

Outdoor activities

• Golf: Many courses on the Cape hold clinics led by a PGA or LPGA Pro for golfers of all abilities. The reasonably priced (usually $20 per session or less) and informal setting are the preference of most Cape resident golfers looking to lower their score. Most facilities offer a weekly or bi-weekly series during the summer, with each session working on a different skill (such as driving, short game, or putting).

• There are free clinics offered by the Holly Ridge Golf Club two Saturdays a month from May until September. No advanced registration needed, just show up at 8:30AM the day you wish to attend, but you do need to bring your own clubs /golf-instruction/free-clinics.
• One-on-one instruction to improve your game: Any course that's open to the public should offer private lessons with a pro. $45-50 for a half hour is standard with discounts usually available if you're a member or purchase a block of several lessons at a time. Call the pro-shop for prices and scheduling.

• Sailing: Several Yacht clubs offer beginning sailing programs, although you may need to be a member or know somebody who is one. Sailing lessons for youth are also available through some town recreation departments, and are usually open to non-residents.
• Town recreation departments also offer a range of outdoor programs and classes including swimming lessons. These are open to non-residents (although resident families have priority in registering).
• The YMCA of Cape Cod and the Islands offers an array of summer camps and programs for all ages through their Camp Lyndon Facility. Visitors who belong to any New England Y have reciprocal access (including free use of the fitness center and pool, as well as paying member rates for classes and programs.) Y members from the rest of the US or Canada get 50% off the day-pass rate.

Halal Restaurants & Food in Cape Cod

As is commonplace for a New England area, seafood restaurants are a regular sight. There is no shortage of restaurants in the entire region, both seafood and not. Wellfleet is well known for its shellfish, particularly oysters. At one time oysters were actually shipped there and put in the harbor to get the "distinct flavor."

Cape Cod is home to many different types of places to grab a drink. There are all sorts of cafes, pubs, restaurants with bars and so on. Nearly all are open in season (typically June–August), many are open for extended periods (April–October, for example) and fewer are open year-round.In the off-season it would be wise to call ahead or check the Google or Facebook profile of the establishments you are hoping to visit before making the trip.

Like the rest of the nation, the drinking age is 21; generally patrons who look under 40 will be asked to show ID. If your only photo ID is an out-of-state driver's license, you may encounter some difficulties purchasing adult beverages. State law is very specific in allowing only the following forms of ID as legal proof of age for alcohol sales: (1) a Massachusetts drivers license or non-driver ID card; (2) a US passport book or card; (3) a foreign passport; or (4) a US military ID. In the past, many bars wouldn't serve to out of state patrons at all, or only those from a neighboring state such as Rhode Island or New Hampshire but now it is common for out of state licenses to be accepted when presented with a second form of ID (which doesn't need to have a photograph, a credit or debit card in your name is very good for this purpose). Individuals using a passport or military ID as proof of age should also be prepared to show backup ID, even though state law specifically allows those forms of IDs as primary proof of age.

Muslim Friendly hotels in Cape Cod

Cape Cod has a very large number of accommodations ranging from basic motels to plush spa resorts. Resort areas include Chatham (Massachusetts) | Chatham, Hyannis and Provincetown. Many hotels are only open seasonally (April through October) and that prices can increase dramatically during the summer high season and during festivals. Cape Cod is also home to several campgrounds. One of those is the Bourne Scenic Park. The Bourne Scenic Park is a campground under the Bourne Bridge on the canal.It is a popular site that permits both tent camping and trailers.It is also right next to the canal with easy access to the bike trail.

The area along Route 6A in North Truro, just south of the Provincetown line is, for connoisseurs, the real Cape. This is "roughing it indoors" - the accommodations are not fancy - usually just one room, perhaps no kitchen or no drywall wall surfaces, and not very modern. For some, this is the real Cape—all the stuff south of the "elbow" is civilization. You have to go to Wellfleet, Truro or P-town to get beyond it.

Hyannis, is perhaps the Hub of Cape Cod. On the Main Street and the Waterfront you'll find Hyannis Harbor, the Village Green, the John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum, the JFK Memorial Park, the Cape Cod Maritime Museum, waterfront restaurants, ferries to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.
