Fascinating!

You may think you know Cape Cod, but the vision most of us have of the New England enclave—preppy Americana, seaside mansions with their pristine, hydrangea-laced landscaping, impossible-to-get-into golf clubs—is but one small slice of this incredibly varied peninsula. If the above is all you're after, you'll find it in spades in Chatham; meanwhile, the intelligentsia gather in Provincetown, with its plethora of galleries, theater, and nightlife, the naturalists flock to serene Wellfleet for its wildlife reserves (and excellent oysters), and Logan Roy types find discretion and kindred spirits in Osterville. At the link in the comments, our Snob's Guide to Cape Cod breaks down the unique charms of each with intel on where to find the best hotels, beaches, hiking trails, boutiques, and—perhaps most importantly—lobster rolls.
