What travellers are saying
- JCNew Jersey5 contributionsBreathtaking, beach goes out for a distance at low-tide. lots of little creatures in the tide pools. we went after 5 for the tide pools and sunset, and hands down my kids' favorite day on our recent trip. tide does come in quickly so keep your things on higher dry land so they dont get swept away.Written 4 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ropqsrBoston, MA216 contributionsFirst time visiting Nauset Beach and it is breathtaking. What a beautiful beach. Long, clean, pristine. We saw a seal that followed along with us on a walk. Sand was incredibly soft with very few rocks/ shells. First time we had seen a beware of sharks sign... Not sure if I would swim, but lovely to beach to visit.Written 19 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nick PStaten Island, NY388 contributionsWe're staying in Chatham, two towns over. The property manager turned us onto this museum. They greet you with a Bon Jour upon entry. The property belonged to a French company, so it proudly displays the US and French flags. The patriotism is important because the international telegraph was important during the World Wars. Learn about the first telegraph line laid between France and the U.S. on that very spot. The museum is free and you get more than you pay for. Motivated guides, fun for the history and science buff.Written 3 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robert LHuntsville, AL9 contributionsWe went to the church to hear a one-of-a-kind organ, comprised of 20,000...yes, 20,000 pipes salvaged from over 20 organs. What we were surprised was that the organ wasn't the notable find at the Church but a community of welcoming believers who have helped build/create a sanctuary that is a work of art at the highest level. Be sure to attend one of the services, hear the organ and spend time on a private tour that will in fact transfigure your sense of majesty.Written 20 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Camie FOrleans, MA83 contributionsAddison Art Gallery is a favorite place to visit for us....to look at beautiful paintings and often to buy. We have been coming to this gallery for years and are never disappointed in the art on display. The artists represented are truly gifted, and we have enjoyed getting to them better over the years. Addison Art is a must visit place!Written 25 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Eastham1995Lee, MA71 contributionsWonderful for walking the beach, enjoying a book and taking photos! Absolutely beautiful!You will see an occasional seal and maybe a shark.

- TravelinTime99915 contributionsOne of the best places to get sunset photos. We come here every year to just get out of the car get some fresh evening air and take a walk down to the water and along the shoreline of Cape Cod Bay. You can also see the fishing boats come in and unload their clams.Written 30 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Norman SHarwich, MA135 contributionsOrleans, as a town on the Cape, has lots of galleries. Tree's place is by far the nicest I've been in yet. You'll have to check it out to get the whole picture. All sorts of different paintings and sculpture. All nicely displayed. Don't miss it.Written 21 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- nurseb73Indianapolis, IN38 contributionsBravo to the performers in Romeo and Juliet. We were visiting the area and decided on watching the play. Miss Sophie Friend and Miss Maya Smith (filled in as Juliet) are very talented young actors. Mr. Roderick and Mr. Whalen were also exceptional. All the actors, children and adults, should be commended on giving of their time and talents and in keeping the arts alive. Thank you Academy of Performing Arts in Orleans, Mass for putting forth your time, being accessible and hospitable. Best wishes to all the performers.Written 12 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Teri_12New York City, New York101 contributionsWe rented a cottage with access to Little Pleasant Bay in August 2018. Almost every day we went out on our kayak and SUP to explore nearby islands, little coves and small hidden beaches. Despite many motor boats it's still very peaceful and relaxing. Saw many sea bidrs and quite a few seals. There is also good swimming at high tide.Written 3 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Constantino TSouthbridge, MA390 contributionsWe stopped here to enjoy the spot and it is very peacefull and beautiful. Even though it is on the road it is very quiet. It is well maintained and wonderfully landscaped. On its lower portion there are picnic table and adult swings. It is a great place to rest a while.Written 1 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jen SMechanicsburg, PA71 contributionsThis was our 1st time to the Cape, and when researching things to do, I found the CCBL. We had so much fun attending a game. Thank you for offering a fun, family-event that is affordable and can be enjoyed by all. The hot dogs from the concession stand were very good. If we were local, we would attend games very often.Written 22 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
