From the Bay to the Breakers

Route 6A between Brewster and Orleans follows the crook of the Cape’s elbow along the Brewster Flats to the mighty Atlantic.

As we continue the third and final chapter of our Day Trip series, and wind down through the last two towns on Olde King’s Highway, now known as Route 6A, the hamlets of Brewster and Orleans share recognizable similarities with the previous villages to the west, but the distinct seasonal quality that has defined the Cape for over a century, somehow feels more palpable. It isn’t immediately apparent, but the pull of the proximity of the beach and large expanses of water act like an undertow pulling you closer to a personal rendezvous with the sea.
