City/town information
We have always loved Eastham & the rugged beauty of the Outer Cape, particularly the bayside beaches such as First Encounter & Campground Beach. We appreciate our proximity to the shops and activities of Orleans, and that we are close to one of our other favorite towns, Wellfleet (which features arguable the best bakery on the Cape PB Boulangerie). We also appreciate the solitude we have found here- we abut wetland which makes it super quiet and we love the short ride (or walk) to the Cape Cod Rail Trail (CCRT).

About 30 minutes (unless you stop off at PB Boulangerie on your way!). Parking is available on the Quay, and there are also some municipal lots a few minutes’ walk from town. We suggest stopping into the Library – you get a great view from the top floor, and there’s a very cool surprise in the library itself!
