User reviews
"Strolling along the coastline on a wooden walkway that commences at Cape Cod canal is an absolute delight. Fort Independence boasts a link to the renowned writer Edgar Allan Poe, and to top off the experience, a refreshing Sullivan's vanilla frappe awaits after the walk. I feel truly fortunate to have spent my entire life in this idyllic location."
