Orleans (pop. 5,800) is a beautiful town characterized by contrasts -- while it's the unofficial business center of the Lower Cape, it is also a mecca for nature lovers. Orleans, which also is Gerry's favorite town on the Cape, is the starting point of world famous Nauset Beach. It is also home to Rock Harbor on the bay side, not to be missed for its spectacular sunsets. While Orleans can certainly be described as traditional small-town USA, the downtown area contains some offbeat stores and restaurants, and has a faintly Bohemian flavor which signals Orleans as the true beginning of the Lower Cape. |
