About Wellfleet

Wellfleet was first settled in the 1720’s as part of the town of Eastham. Wellfleet was later incorporated in 1763. As with Eastham, the presence of the National Seashore has helped preserve the quaintness of this small Cape Cod town. Although fishing (and more specifically oystering) remains Wellfleet’s most important industry, art galleries and tourism have come to the forefront. Dubbed the “Art Gallery Town”, Wellfleet’s town center is home to an abundance of art galleries and studios.

Activities/Places of Interest: From art galleries to nature hikes, Wellfleet provides an array of activities for its visitors. After a day at the beach, take in some local color at one of Wellfleet’s fine restaurants where the seafood couldn’t be any fresher.

Wellfleet Drive-In: Route 6. Return to the days of your youth by taking in a double feature at one of the country’s few operating drive-ins. Kids will enjoy this glimpse of yesteryear. Call 508-349-2520 or visit their website at www.wellfleetcinemas.com.

Beaches: Wellfleet has its share of wonderful beaches on both the ocean (Cahoon Hollow, Newcomb Hollow) and bay (Indian Neck, Mayo Beach) sides. Wellfleet beach stickers are required for the town beaches and may be purchased at the harbor during your stay. National Seashore stickers are required for the ocean side beaches run by their agency. Many visitors and locals alike prefer the fresh water ponds such as Gull Pond, Great Pond and Long Pond. Parking permits are required at these pond beaches as well.
