Make the picturesque town of Eastham your destination for the day, where slowing your pace and spending your time exploring can lead to some unforgettable moments. On the “forearm” of Cape Cod, Eastham spans an area of a little over 27 miles with approximately 14 miles of those being land and the rest water. Tucked between Wellfleet and Orleans, Eastham is referred to as the “Gateway to the Outer Cape.” 

One of the Cape’s four original settlements (the others being Barnstable, Sandwich, and Yarmouth) the town of Eastham is rich in history and coastal charm and has long been a destination for out-of-towners to families to nature lovers. 

Start your morning off right with coffee and one of the legendary donuts at Hole in One Bakery, easy to find at 4295 Route 6, this beloved local institution is open year-round and where you’ll find both visitors and residents grabbing some sustenance before heading out to tackle the day. If you’re packing lunch for the beach, make a stop at the family-owned Eastham Superette, the quintessential neighborhood market where the sandwiches, snacks and essentials they sell have been a part of countless Outer Cape adventures.
