BREWSTER Known as the “sea captain’s town,” Brewster is located on the north side of Cape Cod. All of its saltwater beaches are located on Cape Cod Bay, known as the famous Brewster flats, where when the tide is “out,” you can walk out into the bay for at least a mile. Along Route 6A, the main thoroughfare, one can find remnants of its historic past from stately sea captain’s homes now converted to B&Bs or private residences. Brewster is also home to Nickerson State Park and the Punkhorn Parklands, providing miles of nature trails for the outdoor enthusiast.

TRURO Truro is the smallest and least populated town on Cape Cod. Home to dramatic sandy cliffs from Atlantic to Bay, Truro is unsurpassed in its natural beauty. Built in 1797, Highland Lighthouse, located on a cliff 183 feet above sea level, is the oldest lighthouse on Cape Cod. Truro resides close enough to Provincetown to enjoy its activities, but far enough removed to bask in peaceful seclusion.
