This was an incredible beach, $25 for the day, and that pass was good for any of the other town beaches in Yarmouth. Everything was clean, the water temperature was recorded at 74, it felt perfect. Lots of little shells, even found a couple conch shells!
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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Non-Stop Fun at Cape Cod Inflatable Park! 🎈💦🔥 Cape Cod Inflatable Park is an absolute blast and the perfect place to bring the kids for a day full of fun and excitement! From the moment you walk in, you can see the pure joy on the kids’ faces as they jump, climb, and slide on the endless inflatables. It’s a dream come true for any child (and honestly, adults can have a great time too)! The park is well-maintained, clean, and super safe, with plenty of staff around to ensure everything runs smoothly. There are inflatables for all ages and energy levels, so whether your kid loves high-energy obstacle courses or just bouncing around, there’s something for everyone. One of the best parts? The water park section! 💦 On hot summer days, the splash areas and water slides are a lifesaver and add a whole new level of fun. Plus, the park offers plenty of seating areas for parents to relax while the kids burn off all that energy. I also appreciate the affordable pricing and different pass options, making it easy to spend the whole day here without breaking the bank. If you’re looking for the ultimate fun-filled experience for kids, this place is a must-visit! I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a day of adventure, laughs, and unforgettable memories! 🎉🏰💦
This is not a large water park. Because this park only has 5 slides it creates huge lines to use them. Even the lazy river was loaded with people. The park was clean and we were able to get a table but we arrived when the park opened. Inflatable section is cool for little kids.
Water and inflatable park - took kids ages 2 to 7 (4 kids). Rented a cabana which was nice but not really necessary. If you order food, need to be aware of the sea gulls preying for you to move so they can swoop in and take. We went on a hot day and the cement and artificial grass was hot. I would recommend water shoes as even in the wave pool, you can feel your feet getting sanded. The water park was fun but the lines for the older rides were long. Also no food is allowed in the park so beware that you will need to buy food. Lots of options. The pizza was really good! There are two areas to fill water bottles. Parking was good and attendants show you were to park. Security checks your bags as you enter.
Overall, ok. Rooms are basic. On the small side. Clean enough. Need more pillows. The water park is great but the water was cold. We visited the end of August, and the only thing that i survived to do was slides. The adult only bar area was amazing!!! Great drinks. Kids enjoyed the park for sure. Great 2-day escape. There are plenty of restaurants close by. Plenty of parking. Rooms coming with 4 pool passes.
I didn't expect to like this place as much as I did. It's actually awesome. The water slides were great fun and well maintained. There were many varieties of bouncy castles and they were all seriously fun. We got a cabana and when traveling with both young children and old grandparents, it was well worth it.
We’ve been using Cape Cod Inflatables (Wicked Waves) for the past five years, and every single experience has been nothing short of amazing! Their team is always professional and truly committed to making each year special. A huge thank you to Emily and Jordan—their Friendly, Upbeat personalities and TOP-TIER bartending skills in the swim up Bar Pool!! 😘 Chefs Kiss! It’s also such a pleasure to see Jeff and Curran’s smiling faces year after year. Their consistency makes everything feel personal and seamless. We’re already excited for next year!
We stayed open till close, it was fantastic the kids & adults enjoyed! The downside is not only do you spend $$$ on tickets but you pay for parking 😒 that should be included with the price of tickets.
We had a blast, everything adds up quickly though. With 2 adults and 2 kids we ended up spending $400. Also they are great about accommodating children with a food allergy or sensitivity. I just brought a note and was able to bring a small lunch box.
Whydah Pirate Museum

Museums
Museum displaying artifacts recovered from an 18th-century vessel used for piracy & the slave trade.
Slide 1 of 8
This indoor pirate museum is a fascinating look into the history of pirates with the focus being on Whydah pirate ship that sunk in 1717 just off the Cape Cod shore. The remains were found in 1984 and the excavating is still ongoing! The museum is great for kids, families, or adults and is the perfect way to spend an hour or two or more. It's a self guided tour. You will learn about concretions and the interesting history of how pirates came to be pirates and what life was like for them. The museum entrance for adults is $18 and you can book online or just stop in. There are clean restrooms, a gift shop and parking area. The museum is preparing to expand with further exhibits. Worth a visit!
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.

What a treasure to have Edward Gorey's home as an excellent museum. The staff is wonderful and they create new and fascinating exhibits each year. They have also done an excellent job commemorating his 100th birthday with a gala event and a monthly book group. Their gift shop is also full of treasures in person or online.
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.

Outdoor Activities
Beach with a small sweep of sand & shallow waters for paddling, plus a long boardwalk over marshes.
Slide 1 of 8
Such an amazing place! We visited to watch a sunset. The salt marsh and beach were at low tide, making for a wide array of spectacular views. And of course the boardwalk is a beautiful way to take in the scenery.
The best part of Grays Beach is the boardwalk that stretches out over the salt marsh. At low tide, one will see the most incredible array of water ways winding through the vegetation. We saw various mollusk shells and some birds looking for grub. The walkway is very serene.
Peaceful place to enjoy, small parking try to come early or after 4pm to enjoy the nature and beach. Great place to do cookout for family and friends. I know kids could have a lot of fun. And if you looking to take nice pictures this is the place. People from different places come to have the best picture moment at this place early morning or night..
It was $25 to park but the pass is good for all day. The tide was low and we were able to walk a good ways out (at our own risk). The boardwalk is long and you walk through the marsh. We saw Osprey's and crabs. There are short walking trails near the parking lot and a playground behind it.
I hate this beach and Boardwalk every time I go to the Cape. Have brought my kayaks the past two times for a nice late afternoon/evening kayak across the bay onto the beaches in Dennis. And then along the boardwalk. Great sunsets if you were there at that time. They recently Started to charge for parking during the peak hours, which should always been free in previous years. But like any other paid parking beach, if you go there in the late afternoon, they close up the toll booth. As far as the beach, not great quality as it’s muddy as a result of the surrounding marsh environment. And it’s not directly opened to the water so it doesn’t get waves or considerable water circulation.
One of my kids favorite beaches, but the BUGS are out of control in the summer months. You can’t even be on the beach, especially in the evenings, with the bugs. No amount of bug spray, citronella, or thermal cell will help. You need a mosquito net full body suit! The sunset is pretty to watch from the car. Maybe the bugs are only bad in the evening, as we do not go during the day due to paid parking.
Gorgeous place to visit in the golden hour/sunset. Bring your camera! Romantic.
Beautiful sunset view with a very long boardwalk over the marsh. Right before sunset there are a lot of cars coming in trying to find parking, so suggest you get there a bit earlier. While busy, everyone was nice and there were no problems using the boardwalk. The end of the boardwalk can get full on a nice evening. Looking for crabs in the marsh while walking the boardwalk is fun for the kiddos.

Fun place with so many ice cream flavors to choose from and a fun little mini golf course! The ice cream was so good and with so many flavors to choose from everyone will find something they love. The mini golf was fun and had cute ice cream facts at every hole. It was a quick play of about 25/30min. Some of the stuff needs updating/cleaning but still so cute! The girl working was very nice and helpful! Felt bad that she had to do ice cream and mini golf alone on a Friday night. But she was working hard and getting it done!
My family and I totally lucked into finding this spot while driving around looking at thrift stores. It was tremendous!! The decorations had personality and weren’t cookie-cutter. Also, the course was top notch. My only issue was that my kid beat me - by a lot. Maybe if I wasn’t so busy snapping pictures I would’ve done better. Oh well, at least the winner of the game had to buy the ice cream! (And the ice cream was delicious!)
I really liked the mini golf course. It’s was fun with a little challenge from time to time. I like all the signs with ice cream saying. Price was really good to play. The water feature needs a little TLC. The water mountain was not working and the pool with the wale needs to be cleaned and water added.
This course is designed very childishly which is fine. The course is very worn down so it is hard to play each hole which made it hard to enjoy. The water was also very dirty. The lady offered for us to play for free if we wanted to play another round but we politely declined.
We love to play mini-golf there. It is shady and well maintained. They offer a second 18 holes for free. Quite a bonus!! There is an icecream stand on the premises as well. The staff is courteous as well.
An awesome find in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and open until 11pm during weekdays which is an hour longer than the other mini golf establishments in the area! A great course with an exceptional atmosphere and friendly staff! If you’re looking for a mini golf outing in Cape Cod, this place should be on the top of your list!
Great for little kids, but not for adults, its too easy. Most holes are alike in being a straight shot win. Grounds are dirty though and the waterfall/pool is vivid green cause its never been cleaned. I see others like it very much but just not for me
This golf course is a must for my family at least once a year. My wife has been going for as long as she can remember.. so it holds a bit of sentimental value. They are awesome anyway. There are lots of fun characters all around, icecream, free second rounds, and a free game with a hole in one. LUCIEN GOT ONE THIS LAST TIME!!!!

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

Fun course, not too challenging. The theming is spot on, but showing its age a bit. The location is good and there's plenty of parking, this is a good way to spend some time and have some laughs.
We had such a fun time at this animal-themed mini golf spot! The course was really cute, and the theming added a lot of charm. The holes were just the right mix of simple and a little tricky — perfect for both kids and adults. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Prices were a little on the higher side, but honestly felt fair for how much fun we had. We came first thing in the morning and had no wait! Which for the Cape is a huge plus. Definitely a great spot for a family outing or something a little different to do with friends!
This course was so much fun! It is so big and filled with fun animal statues. The animal noises were funny. They have a wheel to spin at some holes for more of a challenge. We had a blast at this course and highly recommend it.
Can’t believe I’ve never been here … we loved it. The young boy at the door was super sweet. Course has animal sounds playing while you golf. The kids loved it. Super clean. Course is so cool. All the animals are in great condition. Bathroom is super clean . Our new fav spot for mini golf ! We met Sainya when we left and she was cleaning the whole desk area. The whole staff is amazing.
Beautiful spot and location. Extreme fun unless there's a crowd and then you have wait to play. If you don't have a toddler missing nap time or a teen having a day, 🤫😮‍💨 - it makes for a truly fun day! Time it right!
Nice fun mini golf. 18 holes very well kept and clean
First of all, my son rates it a 5 out of 5 so what do I know, really. Pros: cute theme, green is in good shape, 18 holes that did their job Cons: The only obstacle that any of the holes had was the last one with the giraffe; the rest were just varying levels of hill and curve, plus one that was two levels through a pipe (admittedly cool). This is probably a me thing but the animal theme of each hole didnt match up to which animal was next to it. Overall it's cute and kids will definitely enjoy it. As an adult, it feels like they leaned too hard on having the water features and animal statues and didn't bother making the actual game play very interesting.
Loved it here! I came with my three daughters (10, 7 and 2 years of age). They all had a blast! I paid $31 for all four of us. $11 adult and $10 per kid I believe 2 and under can play free. We came at around 3pm and there were a few people playing so no lines! The golf courses are safari and animal themed which was cool and there were speakers on the tree with animal noises. The sections weren't difficult to complete and the course was pretty long. It was worth the price and I highly recommend!!

Wonderful Sunday Jazz Concert in Yarmouth! A special afternoon of great Desmond jazz. ...in the beautiful Cultural Arts Center in town. Check them out for more special events. Wicked good...
Robert Nash and Staff are wonderful to work with, are artists themselves. The Cultural Center of Cape Cod hosted my art show, Fractals in 3D, in the Vault. Our invited guests were warmly greeted and treated to well-presented hors d'oeuvres plus wine & cheese. I was an active CCoCC artist and attended their venues until moving off-Cape.
Great supporter of the local arts. They have something going on all the time in the multitude of different disciplines, writing, painting, music, photography and more.

This is a neat spot! I loved my visit. Lovely artwork in the gallery. A neat cafe that I didn't buy anything from but I'd like to go back. The person at the counter was very friendly. And my favorite part was the artists' studios upstairs. They have lots of cool things going on here. I am going to try to spend more time here because it is a great place!
Super cool art in a huge space that was formerly a bank. The large bank vault looks like something out of a 1920's movie, and the huge, polished metal door is open and houses a smaller exhibit, while the large, easily 3-story main room (which I imagined with long counters and bank tellers), houses paintings on the walls and a grand piano that looks tiny in the vast room. The side room had wooden furniture made by an artisan whose work was astonishing, melding old world craftsmanship with a modern eye to design, resulting in some of the most beautiful wood furniture I've ever seen. I believe that room rotates what it exhibits. The very best part of the visit was Kit Kat, the resident stray who wandered in and stayed! He socializes with everyone he meets and is so chill! After a short introduction while he sat on a desk used for transactions and to give out information, I talked to him. He eyed me and then jumped down to lie on the cool floor. He let both me and my husband pet him and never got testy. After a while he went to the door and gazed out. I asked one of the people who were running the the place if he was allowed to go outside, and she said yes. When we left and went to our car, Kit Kat seemed interested in something under an out building and was crawling underneath it to investigate - or perhaps have a nap! Don't miss this friendly guy if you go to the Cultural Center!
My wife got to participate in a 5K and received a medal and gift card for placing 2nd in her age group. The staff was very friendly and helpful as they opened their gift shop early for us so we could use our gift card since we are from out of town. We got an adorable "Dogs on Cape Cod" photo book that we are excited to display on our coffee table when we get home! They support their local community, don't forget to support them back!

Heard the store was reopened, right on 6A , S. Yarmouth.. Charlie the owner was friendly. The store was like stepping back in time. We ordered a turkey sandwich and a chocolate frappe, liquid ice-cream in a glass. Both were deliceous! We highly recommend to anyone to stop in for lunch or an old fashioned ice cream soda or a root beer float.
Good old faashioned soda! A real old timey feel. Can also buy some of their famous clam chowder. Big cans, enough for an appitizer at a family event.
Great gem of a place. We usually go for the icecream but today we got lunch. I had the seafood salad on marble rye & my husband had a meatball sub, both were delicious. The owner is friendly & really half the reason to visit. A lot of history in that building....generations of Hallet's made that business and I hope it stays in the family for many more. Going back for ice cream before we head on back home to NJ.
We stopped here when we were in town for the weekend. We had meatball subs and ice cream sundaes, which were both very good. The owner was very friendly and chatted with us while we ate lunch. I love that this has been in his family for over a hundred years. He was full of knowledge about the area. We initially stopped at another place for lunch, but decided against it. I am very glad we stopped here. There aren't tons of food options, but we love to support small, local businesses. Good food and nice people.
BIZARRE experience coming in here. I’m giving two stars because of the historical factor and what Hallet’s might be under the right owner. It’s too bad, because it could be an utterly charming old fashioned soda fountain. Current owner has the family ties but that’s about it. Just read his reactions to other negative reviews for an idea what I mean …
Had been wanting to stop in for a while and finally did today. It was okay. The ice cream is not home made, I asked. And when he offered to split a frappe in half for my boys, I asked how big it was, he said 24 oz. so I said okay and he gave us two 8 oz. cups. For the frappe and small cup of ice cream it was $15 which I guess is standard fair now but still surprises me. I also don't know if there are actually any ice cream shops that make their own ice cream anymore. They all seem to outsource. Or at least outsource the base and then add stuff in, like at Smugglers. Anyhoo, it was fine but not somewhere I'd rush back to. I like that it's old and has a nostalgic feel about it. The owner was friendly. I only had ice cream though so I don't know how the food is.
Give them a few stars for the atmosphere and history, but the lunch fare was not good. The clam chowder was all cream and no clams, and the seafood salad very average. There is a reason they are empty at lunch while nearby places are buzzing.
Quite possibly the best ice cream around. Truly a real treat. The mocha chocolate chip is fantastic. We come from Dennis where we are close to another cape favorite. We like Sunday School, but love the ice cream here. The owner is very friendly and the store has a great story. I hope it's around for another 125 years!

Fantastic experience! Booked online for our family of 4, 2 adults, 2 kids in college. We only had a few days on the Cape. There was rain in the forecast, so I was a little worried it’d get cancelled. Jeff called me and kept me up to date with plans. Things worked out great. Harry led our tour. He was very knowledgeable and chill. We went by the oyster cages, went through the marshes, saw seals, spent some time on the beach. Harry told us about the birds, tides… showed us a hermit crab and horse shoe crab. Definitely recommend!
We attended the tour this morning during high tide through the Nauset Marsh. It was a very laid back, cruise through the marshes. There were tons of wildlife during the tour- lots of aquatic birds and seals. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable of the Cape and all the parts of the ecosystem. Great guide and highly recommended.
Jeff was an absolutely wonderful guide! He provided clear instruction and interesting facts about the sea life in the marsh. Highly recommend!
Returning to Cape Cod after a few years, this is the one activity our family insisted we repeat this trip. Did not disappoint, a beautiful paddle through the marsh with interesting facts about the inhabitants and seals, seals, seals! Jeff is a fantastic guide and this is a memorable experience.
I recently had the pleasure of taking a kayaking tour with Great Marsh Kayaking Tours, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, Jeff was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, making me feel comfortable and confident on the water. The tour itself was breathtakingly beautiful, with stunning views of the surrounding marshlands and abundant wildlife. Jeff was incredibly informative, sharing fascinating facts and stories about the area's history and ecology. Overall, I highly recommend Great Marsh Kayaking Tours to anyone looking for an immersive and unforgettable kayaking experience. Whether you're a seasoned kayaker or a beginner, this tour is sure to exceed your expectations. To that end, I plan on booking additional sessions in their other listed location in Yarmouth soon!!
We had a fantastic tour of the marshes. Our guide Jeff was great. When my friend fell out of her kayak, he was cool, calm, and professional and knew just what to do. We got to check out a great empty beach and learn a lot about the local ecology from quahog clams to the seals, egrets and ospreys.
We had so much fun on the high tide paddle with Jeff, our Naturalist, who shared all kinds of local knowledge about the marsh biome, the National Seashore, and marine mammal conservation efforts. 10 out of 10 would recommend! 🤩🦭☀️🌊
We took the Eastham high tide marsh kayak tour with Jeff. It was an amazing experience. We happened to encounter a group of seals in the harbor and so enjoyed watching them pop up near our boats. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable and a great guide. Lovely paddle experience for our whole group.

Fun store to walk around. Lots of interesting stuff. I found the colored glass cup circles i was looking for. They had quite a variety, too. Room enough to move. The store was crowded, but it didn't feel overwhelming. Nicely kept.
Vast selection with many rooms. Some items seem to be inappropriately priced & some are visibly reproductions priced as antique which is disheartening. Regardless we do enjoy coming here yearly & browsing through the mountains of stuff- seriously, there is so much. There’s something for everyone. There is a restroom with a key, and it’s temperature controlled. Overall 8/10 antique and vintage shop.
A trip back in time, cool items , well displayed lots of parking a big variety of toys and glassware, antique, gasoline signs, tools and pictures too much to list. This is a must see to appreciate store.
I went here yesterday and u couldn’t get outta there. It’s huge and they are reasonably priced. They had marbles everywhere and sorry I bought most of them lol. I got a nice atlas jar of them. I sanded down the rust and now I need to soak it more in vinegar with the residue inside the glass. I also got a nice red cape cod glass cup and a beautiful grape design milk glass vase. Thank you! I’m going back for more marbles and glass bottles! The marbles in the poison bottle(which is awesome as well!) are Akro Agates and the vitro agate Aqua Jewels are in the original packaging and they had more!
This is by far the best antique store that I have ever been to. The store is huge and filled with so many amazing things. It does make me sad to see vintage portraits of families, but they are beautiful. Today, we bought a stop sign, a wooden christmas nutcracker, a figurine of Santa unwrapping a bunny, and an Ohio license plate. I could honestly spend all day at this place. The blonde hair lady at the counter, I love her. She's so splendid and offered to wrap up your items. The urge to buy some of the vintage jewelry was very strong. I hope everyone takes the time to really look at everything like we did. Everything there really is amazing.
So many things to see. Spent an hour and a half just looking walked away with a vintage egg beater just like Grandma’s and a vintage salt shaker. Will be back
The cashier and owner are the rudest people . The disgust in there eye rolls and tsk tsk out of their mouths was enough to make us leave items behind. They made it quite clear how avoid they were that we ask for discounts on items over $50. Hey , that's your policy don't take it out on the customer. They were so inconvenienced to have to call the booth owner. They stated that they weren't going to answer anyway so the price is the price marked!! It's very dusty and dark.
We got here entirely by accident. Not being a lover of antiques, we were impressed with this store. I think it has over a million pieces of historical value. There were quite a lot of people on Thursday morning. I recommend this store as a museum too!)

This is my fiancée and I’s favorite spot to watch the sunset on the Cape. If you’re looking for vast, colorful skies, a comfortable walk, and an oh-so-satisfying whiff of sea breeze, look no further. My two tips: 1) Arrive early, particularly in peak season, as parking is extremely limited. 2. Stay late. It’ll be tempting to follow the crowds out as soon as the sun disappears beneath the horizon, but so long as the weather is nice, nothing will beat the privacy and serenity of last light.
Bass Hole is such a fun free spot to visit! It has a unique salt marsh landscape, and during low tide, you can see lots of little crabs crawling around. Early July is the best time—the marsh grasses are lush and vibrant. There’s a long boardwalk full of meaning, with each plank engraved to honor people and their beloved ones. At the end, there’s a small viewing deck perfect for a short rest. On one side of the boardwalk is the rocky marsh, and on the other, the sandy beach—truly beautiful. Today wasn’t too hot, with a mix of sea breeze and sunshine that made everything feel open and uplifting. Parking costs $25.
We visited the Bass Hole Boardwalk (Gray’s Beach) at sunset, and it was such a beautiful experience. The sky turned into shades of pink and gold over the marsh, and the gentle breeze added to the calm. The boardwalk itself is a nice, easy walk over tidal marshland, stretching over the salt grasses and water. From there, you get panoramic views of Cape Cod. On the shore side, Gray’s Beach (Bass Hole) features a small sandy stretch and hidden sandbars during low tide, which make for fun exploring. There’s a picnic area and shady spots near the parking lot.
First off it cost $25 to park and there is NO beach. Gets a little tight on the board walk when other people passing as it is not that wide. Not much to see so definitely not worth the cost or trip in my experience
I have visited there many times in my younger years. It's truly a beautiful place to visit. Sunsets are spectacular. It is a very quiet place to enjoy. Great views from the board walk . Photos on the website. I remember going off the end of the board walk hunting for sea eels . Quite an experience. Up to your neck in water, stabing the sand we ith a spear Needless to say, I was unsuccessful, but a very good day.
There is a $25 fee for parking for either the beach or the boardwalk- they don’t care which you go to. After 4 it’s free.
Completely scam..I saw some reviews on social media and drove by. There was a lady sitting at the entrance asking for parking: $20 cash only, no card no receipt. Please avoid!!!

Expert guides tell the story of Jameson in a recreated distillery scene with tastings and dining.

It was incredible experience. Our tour guide was amazing. First you get free welcome drink - you have 3 options from Jameson (Jameson with lime and ginger is amazing). Then you go to first room, it’s about history of Jameson. Second room is about how to make Jameson and on third you learn about differences, how to smell and taste different Jamesons. With this guide, it was really amazing and I could stay longer than 45 minutes.
My wife and I took this tour on a Monday morning a few hours before our flight home and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very animated and obviously loved his job! Great tour through history all the way to current time. Definitely recommend this tour for any whiskey aficionados or anyone with just a taste for Jameson.
I paid about $26 for the Jameson Distillery tour and it was worth every penny. They start with a really cool 3D projector story about the history and how Jameson is made, then you move into a tasting room where you try four different Jamesons and learn how to properly smell and taste whiskey. It truly feels like a world-class experience. The premium ones were noticeably smoother (whiskey by itself definitely grows hair on your chest 😂), but it was fun, informative, and delicious. After the tasting, you get a drink included — they already have a bar set up with several cocktail options, and if you want another drink afterward you can buy more. The tour guide was incredible — funny, knowledgeable, and made it feel like he actually believed every part of the history. It was so good I found myself thinking, “Do y’all hire? I could work here too.” The staff overall was extremely friendly and helpful. They’ll even hold your bags if you’re coming straight from the airport like I was. There’s merchandise at the end if you want to shop, and the whole experience is just a lot of fun from start to finish. I would 100% come back and I’d tell anyone visiting Dublin to add this to their trip.
What an unforgettable experience at the Jameson Distillery! We opted for the Secret Whiskey Package and savored every moment. The tour was a delightful blend of history, craftsmanship, and fun, with fascinating insights into the company’s founder and the art of whiskey making. The highlight? Learning the skills of whiskey tasting, followed by a truly delicious sampling experience. Despite the bustling crowd of fellow travelers, the staff made us feel so special and welcome. We loved every minute and can’t wait to return!
Had a fantastic tasting tour on my second visit to this iconic Irish distillery. The guide’s deep knowledge and entertaining presentation made the experience memorable. It’s no wonder Jameson remains one of the world’s top selling whiskeys. Highly recommended!
Exactly everything you'd expect from a distillery tour. Great tour guide, samples of the whisky, and the best ambiance. All the employees were stellar and very nice to chat with. You can also purchase exclusive bottles you can't get anywhere else in the world.
This is one of the best distillery tour I’ve ever done! I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Our tour guide was really informative and had a great demote of knowledge about the history of Jameson’s. I’m not usually a Whiskey drinker but after trying a Jamesons, Ginger Ale and Lime in the bar I am converted.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Jamison Distillery. I went with my husband and my daughter. It was very informative and quite interesting. There were several experiences during the tour. We tasted whiskeys that we hadn't tried before. Our new favorite one is Black Barrel. We've bought a bottle now that we're back home and have shared it with a neighbor. He is now a fan! I recommend going on this tour. It's fun, educational, and it even has a cute little shop inside.

Gorgeous, well maintained beach. Great sunset. Lots of beautiful benches for off-season visiting the beach break.
No dogs allowed May 15 – Labor Day. We visited for a day trip on April 24, 2025, and had a great experience. There was plenty of parking and easy access to the beach. Nice benches were available just a short, flat walk from the lot. Restrooms are on-site but open seasonally, so if you're visiting in the off-season, plan ahead. We had our dog on a leash and had no issues—just be sure to clean up after your pet. Note that part of the beach is marked as private, so pay attention to posted signs. As of April 2025, South Shore Road is closed in the area due to construction—follow the detour signs.
Always clean and super fun for my little guy who loves the swings on the beach.
Lovely beach. Excellent services, benches, open off season to all. Be aware of limits of private beaches.
Really nice beach. Almost no waves at all the whole week we were there, which for me is great. They beach is separated and on one side there is a playground on sand, then at the separation there are benches to sit and look at the ocean. Go down the stairs and you're on the beach. It does get somewhat crowded though, and a lot of people are very inconsiderate and extremely loud. Yelling and talking loudly non-stop. So if you're looking to relax with some peace and quiet like I was, I would go to a different beach. Plenty of others with less people. Another issue is the bathroom. It is absolutely filthy, looks like it never gets cleaned, each stall has what is obviously not water all over the floor, and toilet paper everywhere. I don't know what these people are doing in there. Plus, it's incredibly dark in there, tiny filthy windows barely let any light in and the light on the ceiling probably hasn't worked since the 70's, when this bathroom was probably built and last cleaned. And two sinks and only one, 100 year old hand dryer. Also, everyone brings their dogs there and let them off leash.
Clean , not too crowded (usually) no seals = no sharks and that's a +
Walked on the beach on Saturday, came back on Sunday to eat a light breakfast on one of the many park benches overlooking the water. The weather was nice and views of the water were spectacular. We plan to come back and spend more time relaxing and marveling at the natural beauty of this place
Very nice beach, we got there in off season and on rainy day to eat lunch at the gazebo. Beach looked clean, sand very fine, I can imagine to spend a day and have a lovely time

A great meandering path with spots to rest and many trail possibilities depending on the length you wish to walk, jog or bike (check the trail Map first, there are a few stairs nothing hard). Great for children, strollers and pet friendly. Enjoy!
Stop in and talk to the director! She is brilliant, engaging, and otherwise an incredible resource.
Great coffee. Authentic cape vibes. Bathroom. Ok wifi. No gluten free friendly food as far as I could tell.
Wonderful place for a wooded walk. Historic buildings on site. Beautiful serene pond - great for meditation. Trails are marked and well-maintained.
Loved it! Take a walk on the nature paths, you will really be glad you did.
Beautiful hiking trails
I was just here visiting my tree
Great learning the origins of Yarmouth
