Wonderful centralized location - easy access to Wellfleet's best beaches and freshwater ponds. Located two miles from the Atlantic Ocean and one mile from Cape Cod Bay.

Another wonderful attraction is the Wellfleet Drive-In Theater which has been entertaining six generations of summer visitors.

About the host

Hi there,
I'm a 4th generation Summer Wellfleetian who traveled the world and discovered that there is no place like home. I love the ocean and the ponds and will always hold time spent in Wellfleet close to my heart.
