The coordinates for the "Old Cape Cod" waymark are for the Old Coast Guard Station area, east of the Salt Pond Visitors Center, which is the southern gateway to the Cape Cod National Seashore.
From the The National Park Service brochure:
"Coast Guard Beach is a prime swimming beach during the summer season. From mid-June to Labor Day, the parking area at this location is closed to all but park staff and visitors who are disabled, and access is provided by shuttle bus from the Little Creek parking area (across from the Doane Area). Although the parking lot at Coast Guard Beach is open the remainder of the year, parking is limited. There are seasonal restrooms and a wheelchair-accessible ramp way to the beach."

"If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
(You're sure)
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
(Cape Cod, that old Cape Cod)
If you like the taste of a lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view
(You're sure)
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
Winding roads that seem to beckon you
Miles of green beneath a sky of blue
Church bells chimin' on a Sunday morn
Remind you of the town where you were born
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
(Aah, aah)
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay
(On Cape Cod Bay)
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love
With old Cape Cod
You're sure to fall in love
You're sure to fall in love
With old Cape Cod"
