Whenever I'm spending a significant amount of time in Wellfleet, the second thing I do, after getting a lobster roll at PJ's, is get a library card at the Wellfleet Library. It's right in town and has a great selection of books, CDs, and DVDs. They are happy to have summer folks get cards and use them. I've never been short of good reading material. There's also a wonderful secondhand book sale in Wellfleet in early August every year that should not be missed. Enjoy!
4. Captain Curley's Sailing Charters
Overall Ratings

Captain “Curley" has been taking guests on Jeremy Point outings and sight seeing tours of Wellfleet Harbor since 2013. Some of his more memorable experiences have been finding live scallop in the tidal pools off of Jeremy Point, seeing a dolphin cruising the harbor waters, and viewing the impressive cloud formations and weather patterns unique to the Cape. However, it's the guests that make each outing a unique and enjoyable experience each trip. Everyday experiences such as finding pristine shells, seeing seals play, and swimming in the ocean continues to bring joy and a satisfaction day after day. In 2016 Curley introduced his new old boat. A 1969 classic 19 foot O'day Mariner “Tomoka.” Originally named after William McCoy's prohibition rumrunner of the same name. She has a sharp looking dark blue hull and beautiful teak trim. Sure to be an eye pleaser as we beach on Jeremy Point this summer.

Kevin Coakley has been fishing the Cape for over forty years and has been a licensed captain for the past thirty. We have a 32’ Holland (downeast style) which runs out of Wellfleet Harbor. The "Molly Sue" is a spacious vessel (6 people Max) which includes a head and enclosed cockpit. We specializes in a light tackle (fly fishing upon request) casting/jigging and trolling for blues and bass. Combine some fishing with hauling a few lobster pots for a true vacation experience...

An easy walk through and unusual landscape. Most of the walk is on a raised walkway through a beautiful, peaceful ecologically sensitive area. Somewhat mystical on foggy days but always beautiful.

We really enjoyed the flat hiking trails here. The views are great and well worth the entry fee which supports the Mass Audubon Society

Have gone to Marconi Beach a dozen times this summer. Easy to get to, lots of parking, clean changing rooms, clean open bathrooms, easy paths to the beach. Stairs involved to get don to the beach though. Lots of clean sand, and lifeguards.

The drive in was a lot of fun. The kids loved it, we watched Grease and lots of people sang along to the songs. I think the musical movies make it more interesting for the kids. Cars were spaced apart. Bring your own food/snacks, the snack shack is a farther walk and long line. We ordered a pizza and brought it with us and also our own popcorn. The flea market is a total bust. This was my second time going and some vendors are rude and almost all are overpriced junk items. I don’t think they actually want to sell their items. They enjoy collecting and putting them on display. You can get the same stuff at the same exact price in an expensive tourist shop or you can get it for free on side of the road or leftovers from a yard sale. No in between I did enjoy the handcrafted unique items but it wasn’t many
