LOWER CAPE
Harwich
Brewster
Chatham
Orleans
Harwich, noted for its beautiful harbor, is a cluster of seven villages.
Historic homes, sandy beaches, golf, diverse dining, and family recreation
make it a favored destination. The town's many cranberry salt bogs
produce commercially farmed cranberries.
Established in 1803, Brewster is an historic sea captains town located
on the bay side of Cape Cod. It encompasses approximately 23 square
miles, including over 325 acres of beach and marshlands, with 24 ponds
larger than 10 acres in size.
Chatham's small-town qualities are well suited for families and retired
residents. A spectacular coastline and out-of-the-way location have kept
generations of summer residents coming back each year. Purchase fish
and lobsters right off the boat at the famous Chatham fish pier!
Orleans is known as the "gateway to the Outer Cape." Downtown
Orleans bustles in the summer, while the quieter village of East Orleans
offers quaint shops and eateries. More than 300 species of birds can
be spotted in Orleans, and deep sea fishing can be enjoyed aboard
one of the vessels of the Rock Harbor Fleet.
