22 Miles of Paved Trail
Cape Cod Rail Trail
The Rail Trail follows a former railroad right-of-way through Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham and Wellfleet. Paved, nearly flat, and beautifully wooded — perfect for all levels.
Jump off the trail to hit a beach, grab lunch, or explore Nickerson State Park. Restrooms available at Salt Pond Visitors Center and National Seashore Headquarters.

Minutes From Your Door
Cape Cod National Seashore
43,000 acres of windswept beaches, pine forests, kettle ponds, and historic dunes stretching from Chatham to Provincetown. Coast Guard Beach is a perennial Top 10 in America.
Don't miss Cape Cod Bay — calmer, warmer water and stunning sunsets. First Encounter Beach in Eastham is steps away and steeped in Pilgrim history. Note: most beaches charge seasonal parking fees and some have pet restrictions.
