The Main House is part of a cottage colony known as 'the Sea Shells.'

For lunch or snack, Mac's walk-up window serves burgers, fried clams, and ice-cream. Sit at a picnic table by the beach. At the Pier there is also an art gallery, a used bookstore, and adventure opportunities to go out in a boat.
Located between Main and Wellfleet Pier, it is also possible to walk to the playground on Kendrick Avenue. It has a tot area, swings, a frisbee field, skate park, and tennis.
Our Sea Shells' beach is adjacent to the Cape Cod National Seashore. It is clean and calm - similar to Mayo Beach, an extension of Mayo Beach going West - but quiet and private. Warmer water, gentle waves, no riptides to worry about.

The BEST place for kids. Explore the National Seashore by foot or by kayak, walk to Great Island at low tide, collect shells, swim, relax and enjoy the beauty. At night - listen to the waves.

Beach and Snow- Thanksgiving in Wellfleet
Ocean beach - Henry David Thoreau called the sandy stretch along Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown "The Great Beach." Enjoy a 40-mile uninterrupted stretch of beach, the largest on the East Coast. The Seashore also includes hiking and biking trails, marshes, fresh- and salt-water ponds, forests, historic structures, and lighthouses. In all, the federally protected land includes more than 43,000 acres. The ocean beach is about 5 miles from the Sea Shells.
Marconi Station Site - Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi set up shop on the high cliffs overlooking what is now Marconi Beach in Wellfleet in the early 1900s to work on his project of sending wireless transmissions across the Atlantic. While repairs were being made to the Wellfleet station, Marconi sent a transmission across the seas from a station in Nova Scotia. In 1903, Marconi sent historic messages back and forth from the U.S. President and the King of England from Wellfleet. Today, a model of the station sits at the original site.
Great Island - A Wellfleet treasure. Great Island was a center of mariner activity in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, a walking trail winds around between sand dunes, salt marshes and the sea. Strong swimmers: Swim to Great Island at high tide! Weak swimmers: Walk there at low tide. Non-swimmers: Drive to Great Island parking lot and walk the Great Island trails. It's pristine and secluded - part of the protected Cape Cod National Seashore. You can kayak to Great Island in about 15 minutes from the Main House.
3 kayaks are included with the rental.
Wellfleet
- Authentic character and charm about 75 miles
out into the Atlantic ocean. About half of Wellfleet is preserved as part of
the Cape Cod National Seashore. There's a unique nautical history, a quaint
central village, and a plentiful supply of fresh fish and shellfish, including
the world famous Wellfleet Oyster. The public beaches - ocean, bay, and pond -
are beautiful, swimmable, and not as crowded as other parts of Cape Cod.
