The museum was really cool. Though it definitely requires a LOT of reading. It was super cool to learn the history of Bellamy and they had some very cool models. Also the science section with the concretements was very interesting. Definitely worth a visit if you're interested in pirates.

We decided to visit the museum on a rainy day, along with a multitude of other tourists. While the museum itself seems interesting and has a lot of potential, we were completely unable to enjoy it due to the overwhelming crowd. It was absurdly packed — there was barely room to move. Had we not already purchased tickets online, we would have turned around and left. It’s a shame we couldn’t appreciate what the museum had to offer. On top of that, it was unbearably stuffy inside. Staying there longer than ten minutes was almost impossible. This experience was absolutely not worth nearly $80 for a family of four (2 adults and 2 kids). It felt more like a tourist trap than an actual museum. In fact, I’d call it more of an overhyped exhibit than a true museum — everything felt forced and stretched thin. This was the worst “museum” I’ve visited on Cape Cod. There’s clearly a lot that could be improved — better crowd control, air ventilation, bigger facility, and overall organization — but judging by other reviews, nothing ever changes. Read the reviews, friends, before you go.

Very neat museum which tells the history of pirates and specifically focuses on the Wydah which sank in a storm. This museum requires ALOT of reading, which was great for my husband and I. But not so great for little kids. I could see young kids getting bored quickly. It takes about a hour to go through. Very cool to learn about the history of pirates. There is a little gift shop where you can buy souvenirs too.

The Pirate Museum and its gift shop are a must-see when visiting Cape Cod! 🏴‍☠️ I was fascinated by the stories of real pirates, the history of the slave trade, and the incredible artifacts recovered by divers from the lost ship. The exhibits are both educational and exciting — perfect for all ages. Before entering, there’s a short video that really sets the mood and gives great background on what you’re about to see. A fun, informative, and unforgettable stop, I highly recommend it! (By the way, no photography is allowed inside the museum, so be sure to take in the details while you’re there!)

Must see, chance of a life. This is as much someone's labor of love as it is a museum. I went with my wife, and being in a tourist area, I had no expectations, assumed it would be a bit kitsch. Anything but. Superb presentation of history and artifacts that they have made come alive, stunning level of intelligence and thought into the exhibits. Highest possible recommendation.

Overall a nice experience. I think the exhibits could be better designed. One of the most amazing parts was the HUGE pile of treasure, the only discovered pirate treasure.... People Just walked right by. Thinking oh cool, treasure, without knowing the story behind it. If the display for it was larger or even a room specifically for it, people would know how important it is.

Great experience. The content and exhibits are interesting and the format is small enough that children stay engaged. One can visit for 45 minutes to an hour and come away satisfied, or even stay for 90-120 minutes for a deeper dive (no pun intended). Even though this museum is curated around a specific shipwreck off the Cape Cod coast, the information correlates to broader maritime and trade histories. Our group was mixed and all had a good time, coming away with some newfound knowledge and respect. For improvements I’d recommend the museum evaluates the lighting in some areas to try to illuminate more of the details of the exhibits. The ambiance definitely reflects the dark, dank vibes that pirates experienced below decks, but there are definitely ways to improve the visuals without degrading the overall feel. Around the cannons, for example, is an area that I would’ve liked to better identify some of the details the exhibit was describing. Overall, this museum is an excellent experience. It’s something fun and interesting to do on a cloudy day, or right before grabbing dinner in the neighborhood, or any time you want to engage with something that can fill a smaller window of time on your visit to the Cape.

Great beach for families lots of soft sand and places with seaweed and or shells mixed in.

Great place. Has bathrooms, snack bar and outdoor shower. Cost $25 to park. Lots of shells so ware shoes. There was seaweed but not bad. Water was 75

Great beach with bathrooms and parking

Sunshines here just come and relax. Close to parking lot.

Great beach. Somehow we always ended up back here throughout our weekend stay. The kids loved it here. From the views, to the massive amounts of shells to collect to the cleanliness of the beach this one definitely gets 5 stars. I initially took concern with paying 20$ for these beach spots but after seeing how clean these beaches are and how the cig smokers and dog owners are kept at bay, it's actually a price worth paying.

What a way to spend a relaxing summer afternoon. We visited this little beach in charming Cape Cod. There was a $20.00 fee to park, which was a little steep. But we found the bathroom to be clean, perhaps the fee dissuades large numbers of visitors. The water was warm. I am surprised how little waves there are on the East Coast. When we visited there was a lot of seaweed. Kind of freaked my wife out. I don't know if this is normal for all of Cape Cod or just this neach.

Lots of shells and lots of people! Great sand and I was able to find a conch shell. At this time, the water was not cold at all!

I enjoyed this museum more than I expected. The scavenger hunt for The Tinies was the best part of the visit. I was familiar with some of Edward Gorey's work but only a very small portion. I came out with a bigger appreciation and I will be seeking out more of his work in the future.

We visited the Edward Gorey House last week. My husband has been a fan for quite some time, and now I’m officially one too. The tour, led by the house’s director, was fantastic—full of fascinating facts I’d never heard before (and even my husband learned a few new things, surprisingly!). We had a great time browsing the gift shop and left with a few treasures, including a numbered print approved by Gorey himself. We highly recommend the tour!

I can't believe I didn't know this place was in Cape Cod! I saw a flyer at a coffee shop and got so excited. It is a really great little museum, my husband (who had never heard of Edward Gorey) also really enjoyed it. Highly recommend stopping by to look around and check out the gift shop- they do a really good job with the gift shop. We didn't have reservations when we went, but I think it's a good idea to make them just to make sure you can get in since it's pretty small and get the times of the talks.

Came here after my wife saw a woman on Antiques Roadshow with some Ed Gorey artwork. I looked him up and found this cute little museum of his house on the Cape. We live in Oregon now, and I put this on a list of places to look into when we were in the area to visit family. Due to my poor time management skills on this trip, we were very tired after flying, and then driving here. We did more of a self-guided tour, and we would definitely return if we were in the area.

I have loved Edward Gorey since I was a kid and came across his illustrations in books by John Bellairs. After visiting the museum, I love him even more. He was such a unique and brilliant person; his ability to tap into the absurd and sinister was remarkable. The house was not too busy, and the talk by the tour guide was interesting and just the right length. You're left to explore at your own pace. You really come away with a sense of Gorey and his life. The gift shop was great

Really well done living memorial for my favorite illustrator. We loved the scavenger hunt and how the director/guide and other staff member incorporated Gorey’s renowned dark humor in their interactions with visitors. Can’t wait to return.

If you know his work it’s a pilgrimage, if you don’t it’s a kooky, spooky spot to visit. Our docent was a fountain of information about the man and the exhibits. We enjoyed it.

Love this beach! Nice for walking, beach day, fishing, you name it. It’s even nicer in the off-season as well.

Beautiful clean beach can't wait to get back I was able to relax on the beach and my husband was able to fish. It was a perfect day.

Best place for a year round sunrise experience

Lovely place with a clean beach

Go for the view and stay for the grand experience.

Nice spot. Easy to get to. Fee or sticker for summertime use, free in off season.

Very clean beach and water.

This place was a perfect mini golf course. There are two courses to choose from. One is more flat and handicap accessible while the other has many stairs. Play was pretty smooth everyone was moving fast paced. Only issue was the smell. They need to power wash or clean the water because the entire time it smelt.

The best minigolf place I have ever been to, hands down. Two courses in one, quality greens, unique hole designs, great for groups and kids, plenty of parking, and food locations nearby. Kind staff and golfing community. Course is a little bit expensive, but you are getting what you pay for.

It was a fun time. Great course we did the Captians 18 hole. The gentleman at the counter offered to take our photo witch was very nice. Great photographer he was as well.

Such a fun course! One of the best mini golf I have been to in a while! Has two routes, one is more accessible than the other (we took the harder one it has a fair amount of stairs just beware there’s cardio involved!). The course was fun and interesting and on theme, and it was affordable too!

They have two courses we didn't do black beards course. The kids enjoyed the course, but they even found it to be too easy and uneventful. They wanted more hazards and obstacles.

We used to love this place. But we did the front course the other evening and we were not impressed. One of the holes had a leak from the nearby waterfall, making the green wet and puddled, and the hole full of water. They probably could have fixed it with a bit of hydraulic cement. The worse problem was the lighting. The lights were not bright enough and too far apart - dim and shadowy. And the tunnels had no lighting and were hard to walk through, much less golf in. We might go back and do the back course during the daytime, but there are lots of other courses to try.

Pirate's Cove is my favorite mini golf place. We play there in Maine and here in the Cape. We always do Captain's Course and Blackbeard's Course because they're so much fun. It's great for all ages and group sizes. For the first round it cost us $27 and then we got a $10 discount for playing another course right after.

Great mix between Italian and Mediterranean food. They welcome you with a great homemade pizza. My drink was perfect. Food was cooked to perfection. Very tasty. The place was busy during our visit . Staff and service were ok. The desserts were great. We did take baklava for home.

Carol was a fantastic server, and the owner Paul was present and extremely welcoming!! The food was outstanding including chicken souvlaki and lamb gyro!! The coated fries and spanakopita were a hit as well!! Highly recommend for delicious Mediterranean in the heart of the cape.

The food at this restaurant is amazing! The service is also great. My family and I really loved the Greek food they make. We can't wait to come back!

We were looking for a simple, light dinner and thought Mediterranean food would be a great choice, some rice, kebab, and grilled veggies sounded perfect. Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in a long time, and it quickly became clear why the parking lot was empty. The kebab was completely burnt, the rice had clearly been pre-cooked and reheated (it literally kept the shape of the container it came from), and the vegetables weren’t fresh at all, just frozen ones thrown on the plate. What should have been a very basic and tasty dish was ruined in every possible way. It doesn’t take much to prepare fresh meat on a clean grill, add real grilled vegetables, and cook rice properly. Instead, what we got was a meal that felt careless and unappetizing. We refused to eat this. Sadly, we cannot recommend this place. If you’re in the area, I’d suggest looking elsewhere for dinner.

Super tasty food for both kids and adults! They brought free desserts for the kids and even shared pizza with us and the nearby tables. 👏Staff was super friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed everything definitely coming back!

Food was incredible. Atmosphere gives you're local pizza place but the owner is what really makes this place special. He makes sure that every patron feels welcomed and taken care of. Will absolutely be back.

The restaurant is impeccable with a nice atmosphere and indoor or outdoor seating. The service was excellent. We had the moussaka, spinach pie, the Greek soup and baklava. All were excellent!

Enjoyed our evening, first with drinks at their bar, then dinner. We had their crusted Haddock, which was very good with nice flavor. I also loved their lobster bisque as an appetizer. Our waitress was very attentive and made the evening special.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience at the Old Yarmouth Inn in Dennis, Massachusetts! Everything was top-notch. On a friend's recommendation, I ordered Spencer's Manhattan, the stuffed quahog, and the sweet potato fries. When I mentioned the fries, the waitress casually said, "whatever floats your boat," which made me smile. Those fries were some of the best I've ever had—crispy, flavorful, and just perfect. The staff was friendly and seemed unaware of how incredible their food is! Highly recommend this gem!

I recently visited this Yarmouth inn , and it was absolutely delicious. The highlight of my meal was the lobster—it was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The rich butter sauce paired with it was incredible. The rest of the seafood was fresh and tasty as well. The staff was friendly and made sure everything was just right. If you love good lobster and fresh seafood, this place is a must-try. Highly recommended!

With an Olde fashioned tavern vibe, this place has been in business since the 1700's. It has a cozy bar and 3 different dining rooms to experience. Service was excellent with a curated menu that stands the test of time, as they reintroduce their all time favorites again and again for special holiday menus.

I spent months planning a special trip to Yarmouth Port for my wife and me. I carefully chose a beautiful place to stay (The Inn at Cape Cod — a solid 5 out of 5 stars!), mapped out a whale watching tour, a relaxing day on Nantucket with lunch at the Rose and Crown, and a visit to the whaling museum and quaint shops. For our final evening, I wanted something a little more upscale to cap off the trip — and The Old Yarmouth Inn seemed the perfect fit. And it is upscale. Housed in a well-preserved late 17th-century building, the Inn evokes a sense of colonial elegance. The seafood menu is broad, and yes, the prices reflect that — but so do the portions and the flavor, which helps justify the cost. But there’s a line between upscale and snobby. Things began well. We had reservations and were seated quickly in the main dining room. Nearby were several small parties, and one table of four with a rather loud, opinionated gentleman — I only know he was opinionated because he made sure everyone could hear it. We skipped appetizers, opting for entrees and dessert. My wife had the Lobster Pappardelle, and I chose the fish and chips. Once our meals arrived, however, our server more or less vanished. My water glass sat empty for 15 minutes while she tended, almost exclusively, to the louder table nearby. Obviously, larger tables can mean larger tips, and no restaurant can be held responsible for a guest who insists on commanding the floor. Still, we began to feel… invisible. Eventually, my wife gently called out to ask for water. The server smiled and said, “Of course,” but immediately turned to the busboy with a quick, dismissive, “Water here,” punctuated by a flick of the finger in our direction. From then on, he was our point of contact — including when he kindly relayed our dessert order. Aside from being a quiet table of two, I honestly don’t know what we did to receive such cold treatment. We were polite, dressed appropriately, and though I had a camera and took a few discreet photos, I wasn’t disruptive — others were doing the same. We were simply a couple hoping to end our trip on a warm and memorable note. Everywhere else we went in Yarmouth and Hyannis, we were met with kindness. And to be fair, any restaurant can have an off night, and any server — or owner, for that matter — can have a day when things feel a bit overwhelming. At The Old Yarmouth Inn, the food was very good — but the experience was not. And when I planned this meal, I was hoping for both. We were served, but we were not welcomed. Update: After I posted this review, the owner personally reached out. He was kind, professional, and made it clear he cared about both the customer experience and his staff. He also offered a refund — which I hadn’t asked for — as a gesture of goodwill. I deeply appreciated the call. It was a stand-up response from someone who clearly wants his restaurant to reflect both quality and hospitality. Were I to travel to Yarmouth Port again, the care shown in his response demonstrates that this is a class establishment worthy of another opportunity.

The ambience is great. Menus are daily. Seafood is beyond fresh. Meals are cooked to order and are excellent. Meals are above average expensive, but our 2 meals were superb. Service was okay. Our waitress kinda left my wife and I hanging during our meal while she was servicing her larger tables of customers finishing their meals. I would easily rate our meal in the high 4's if it weren't for the fact that I drank diet Pepsi during our meal while my wife had cocktails. I had 3 heavily iced glasses of diet Pepsi during our meal. Our final bill included charges for soda x 3 @ $4.00 each. My issue has nothing to do with a $4 charge for a soda. It has everything to do with our spending $120 + tip for two and to then be nickel and dimed by being charged for each one of my 3 sodas. The restaurant cost of a soda pour in an iced glass costs roughly $.03 per glass of soda, maybe less. I don't get why such a fine restaurant had to charge me for 3 diet sodas! Bad business and not necessary for the restaurant.

Very nice place. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. I would definitely visit again.

Ate here on our last night in cape cod and it didn't disappoint. We got the fisherman’s platter and shared that. They gave us a very genera portion and ever time I looked under the fries there was another scallop or shrimp. The clam chowder was delicious. We even had leftovers for the next morning. The sever was very nice. She gave her opinion about on items on the menu and was very kind. The dinner rolls were delicious and a must try when there. Very crowded but the wait wasn’t so bad. Not too loud but definitely a favorite spot for families to eat.

My husband and I were staying in Dennis Port the last week of October 2025 and decided to try this restaurant. We shared our meal, we had the Clam Chowder in a bread bowl and the Fisherman’s Platter. It was the best Clam Chowder I have ever had. The Clams on the Fisherman’s Platter were also the best. The entire meal was very impressive! The waitress was extremely nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to the area. Please, bring me a bowl of the Clam Chowder to Florida! ❤️

Continuing our tour of the most popular/touristy Cape Cod places my wife ate at during her childhood visits here, we went to Captain Parker’s. She got clam chowder, shrimp cocktail, and onion rings. I got broiled scallops and a stuffed Quahog. The clam chowder and Quahog were excellent. I understand why everyone loves the clam chowder so much from this place. The scallops and shrimp were totally solid. Service was incredibly good—-despite the fact that it was packed. I’m only giving four stars for three reasons. 1. The onion rings were way underseasoned; 2. I really wanted a boiled lobster and they didn’t seem to have that on menu; 3. The check in system is a bit chaotic—though I’m not sure how to remedy this.

Captain Parker's Pub is a very nice restaurant. When you walk in, you might think it's a small restaurant but the further in you go, you see how big it is. Even though it is a big restaurant, the staff is great. They also have seating available outside. We started off with the chowder which was good. My boyfriend got the ribeye with blue cheese topping. It came with potatoes and steamed vegetables. I got the buttered lobster roll. It came on a brioche bun and with a side of fries and coleslaw. They have a statue of a captain out front and some interesting looking fans inside.

We spent one night in Cape Cod, and the hotel receptionist suggested a spot for clam chowder that was just about a mile away. The food was awesome! The clam chowder is definitely a must-try, and we also had a tasty lobster roll. We got seated right away, and the servers were super friendly. The only thing I wish is that we could’ve gone during the day to enjoy the outdoor seating and the view of the river. If you’re in the area and craving clam chowder, this is the place to go. They’ve been recognized multiple times for having the best chowder around!

Best clam chowder of our trip!!!! We would definitely eat here again, and probably just get the chowder. The other items we ordered (fish and chips and Cajun sandwich) were ok, but the chowder was worth a return visit. The wait staff were friendly and efficient.

We came here for a late lunch on a Tuesday. There was no wait and plenty of parking. We were going to come for dinner on Sunday by the website showed a 30 minute wait so we decided to try anther time. Our waiter was attentive and the order was accurate. I had the clam chowder and fried clam strips, which were delicious. We also ordered the kids grilled cheese and kids cheeseburger and the kids loved them. My boyfriend ordered the short ribs mac and cheese, which was just okay. My only complaint is how quickly they clear the plates. I was asked multiple times by multiple staff if they could clear my plate or bring me a box as I was actively eating.

Excellent food, incredibly fresh and well-crafted. The service is also very warm and personable. Somehow I never tried the scallops sashimi - one of their signature dishes - until my... third? visit. Absolutely incredible. Every bite is an experience here. Highly recommended.

An unexpected gem in the middle of Cape Cod. My wife and I were not expecting Japanese food when visiting the cape. The food, service, and atmosphere were exceptional, making our experience and unexpected surprise. We had the chicken karaage and the chef sushi plate to share. Misos made the meal more than enough, and we spent less than $50. It's truly great.

Amazing sushi and sashimi. The fish quality = 10/10. My boyfriend’s favorite sushi spot and he has high standards. Will be back with him again and can’t wait for it

Nice service and option for sushi counter seating and good toro special. Would’ve liked more finesse on the fish cuts and better sushi rice personally. Very large portions vs a NYC

My family has been going here for 20 years and the quality has never wavered at all. I’ve had sushi in Boston, Chicago, L.A., and other cities and haven’t found a better restaurant. Amazing service, great food and also excellent cocktails and wine list if that’s your thing. If I was on death row I’d ask if Inaho could cater my last meal.

AMAZING! I went on a Wednesday night for my six year anniversary. The atmosphere was so homey, I felt as if i Was eating at my asian friends house, Junpei (aka Jilm). The food was exquisite, as was the service. Highly highly recommend.

Great sushi! Practically melts in your mouth. Friendly staff that helped us figure out what we could order for the kids. I will eat here again for sure! We went again this year on our Cape vacation. Still great! It’s hard to get a table, so my advice would be to call early in the week of your stay and plan it out.

We go back several times a season and are always pleased with our meals. As a Rhode Islander now living on the Cape I appreciate a good clam cake. These are mighty fine.

Awesome food. Fresh seafood. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. Indoor/ outdoor seat yourself. Prices what you would expect on the cape. Ice cream menu looked great too.

Must add as your Cape Cod stop!! Such fresh fish / lobster rolls and fries! Came here 8 years ago, and has been on my mind ever since, just as amazing as I remember !

Perfect place for fresh fried seafood on the Cape! It's clearly a classic establishment that has amazing fried clams (always get them when I go). It's also very popular and busy.

The food is delicious, fresh, and well portioned. Their soft serve ice cream is also very tasty. Seating may be difficult to find, however.

Went to Captain Frosty’s for a quick lunch. Clearly a local favorite, great atmosphere and the service was good. I got the lobster roll, which was $25, and it tasted just ok for me. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here again, but I enjoyed myself.

Casual family dining with seafood and burgers and Frosty treats. Indoor and outdoor seating is provided and there are clean restrooms. No adult beverages. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. Prices are reasonable for Cape Cod... We had a lemonade and two fish and chips platters and it was less than $50 including tip. We both agreed that fish was delicious, moist and flaky. The fries and coleslaw were good. Overall we were very pleased with our experience in this clean and friendly family restaurant.
