Overlooking Wellfeet Harbor,
Wellfleet Bay Sanctuary's 937
acres of panoramic salt marsh,
sandy barrier beach, pine
woodland, freshwater pond, and
rare heathland attract a wide array
of wildlife, especially songbirds and
shorebirds. Discover the true nature
of Cape Cod as you amble along
the miles of trails that traverse
these habitats.
The universally accessible scenic
trails are complemented by an
award winning "green" Nature
Center with numerous exhibits
and aquariums, our friendly
volunteers, and a beautiful butterfly
and hummingbird garden.
A variety of educational programs
for children and adults, including
walks, workshops, and cruises,
are offered both on the sanctuary
and at other pristine locations on
Cape Cod. Enjoy a naturalist-led
bird walk on our property or listen
to an evening lecture. Professional
exhibits engage you in learning
about local plants and animals.
Our large aquariums showcase
the underwater worlds of the salt
marsh, tidal flats, and fresh water
ponds. The exhibits are free with
sanctuary admission. Enjoy hands-
on activities during wildlife cruises
on Cape Cod Bay and Nauset
Marsh.
