Brewster Cape Cod Massachusetts
The town of Brewster is located on the Bay side of Cape Cod.
Although it is not part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, the town has
taken steps to preserve its natural resources, with approximately one
third of the town under conservation. Brewster is home to seven bayside
beaches, as well as two public freshwater beaches at Long Pond and Sheep
Pond. It is also home to the 1900-acre Nickerson State Park, which offers
camping, fishing, kayaking, swimming in fresh-water kettle ponds, and
miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails.
In addition to the unique antique shops and art galleries, the town has
several small museums and historic structures open to the public, including
the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, and the Stony Brook Grist Mill,
built in 1751 and still grinding corn on weekends. If you enjoy golf,
you may want to visit Captain’s Golf Course, likely the best public
golfing on the Cape, with two 18-hole championship golf courses. Gardeners
will enjoy a visit to Great Cape Herbs, an organic herb farm which also
houses an herbal apothecary and an internet cafe. There are adequate places
to eat in Brewster, and plenty of places to stay, including inns, bed
and breakfasts, vacation rentals, and even a resort. Brewster’s
location at the crook of the arm of the peninsula makes it an ideal spot
for exploring both the Outer and Mid Cape areas, and the lack of commercialism
geared towards tourists that has invaded many parts of the Cape is a breath
of fresh air.
