• Drive-In Theatre: the only drive-in movie theatre on the Cape; a real treat!
• Jeff Soderbergh Gallery: exquisitely crafted contemporary furniture and art, created from reclaimed, sustainable materials.
• Narrow Land Pottery: beautiful, hand-thrown decorative and functional pieces.  (Tip: Joe, the potter, is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, as are his adorable corgis who peek in the shop.)
• The Town of Wellfleet sponsors free concerts and plays at Baker’s Field and square dancing on the town pier throughout the summer.
• See plays at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater (WHAT) year-round, plus film screenings and HD livecasts of the Metropolitan Opera.

Favorite Wellfleet Spots

• Herridge Books: multiple stories of used books; you’re sure to get sucked in!
• The Wellfleet Public Library is the perfect place to spend a rainy day and also hosts speakers, readings, and community events.
• Wellfleet Farmers Market: every Wednesday May-October
• Wellfleet Flea Market: 200 vendors fill the Drive-In’s parking lot.  (Tip: bring cash and reusable shopping bags.)

Food/Beverage

• A Nice Cream Stop/Emack & Bolio’s: the sign in front says the former, but everyone calls it the latter.  Delicious either way.  (Tip: cash only.)
• Bagel Hound: real bagels made in house with all the fixings (new in 2022)
• Bookstore & Restaurant: excellent seafood and large cocktail menu.  Clam chowder is a must!
• Ciraldi: elegant 7-course dinner served with wine pairings and other curated house-made beverages.  Reserve your spot well in advance.
• PB Boulangerie Bistro: savory and sweet French delicacies, available for dine in or pick up.  If you have a sweet tooth, PB’s pastries are for you!
• PJ’s: seafood, ice cream…what more could you want on a hot day?
• The Wicked Oyster: longtime Wellfleetians will understand our deep sadness when The Lighthouse closed at the end of the 2018 season.  The Wicked O is a great alternative for scrumptious brunch and also offers dinner plus a full bar.
• Winslow’s Tavern: date night with or without the kids!
