A Cape Cod Tradition, Just Beyond Our Shore

One of Cape Cod’s most memorable experiences begins at our dock. A complimentary 15 minute boat ride across Pleasant Bay transports you to the pristine shores of the Cape Cod National Seashore, where miles of sandy beach, rolling dunes, and the Atlantic Ocean await.
