Wellfleet, Massachusetts is located on Cape Cod, and is comprised of over 70% National Seashore protected land.  Massive dunes, seagulls, salt breezes and oystering combine with a vibrant arts community to make Wellfleet a wonderful place to visit.  The Town of Wellfleet is filled with historic buildings from the heyday of the whaling trade, with many beautifully-preserved original structures dating from the 1850s.

One of the prime attractions of Wellfleet is it's unbroken 10 mile stretch of pristine National Seashore.  Seagrass-topped dunes reach into the deep blue sky as whales, dolphins and seals swim along the Atlantic coast.  On the Cape Cod Bay side, Wellfleet boasts some of the most renound oystering grounds in the world, and wide wonderful beaches where you can watch the sunset.
