More to Do:
A large flea market sets up each Thurs-Sun at the Wellfleet Drive-In Theater/Multiplex--only a 5-10 minute walk from the cottage; haggle with the vendors by day, and catch a movie at night. A renowned fruit and vegetable stand is right down the lane, and around the corner an excellent and favorably priced deli/convenience store -- great for essentials, subs, and live lobsters at reasonable prices.
Wellfleet Center is a treasure trove of craft shops, art galleries, and antiques shops; while bucolic Truro offers timeless landscapes and ocean vistas, as well as excellent restaurants. Tour Truro Vineyards winery and taste the product. Historic Provincetown offers unique shops, excellent restaurants, and daily whale watching tours, amidst the bohemian flavor of this artists community.

It goes without saying that the Outer Cape is a paradise for boaters and fishermen. Several bait and tackle shops are close by for gear, bait, and advice. Charter fishing boats leave from the harbors in Wellfleet, Orleans and Provincetown. You can be successful surf casting for stripers and blues from any of the ocean beaches, and from Great Island in Wellfleet.
