Discover Yarmouth, Cape Cod MA
Three villages make up the 17-square mile town of Yarmouth, Cape Cod: West Yarmouth, Yarmouth Port, and South Yarmouth. Each village has a distinctive character formed by over 350 years of history. In South Yarmouth, the picturesque Bass River is a breathtaking waterfront destination with a four-season view.
A community shaped by its seaside heritage, Yarmouth has retained much of its historic charm while integrating the present into its surroundings. To gain a true perspective of our town you must stray from the major roadways of Route 6 and 28 that traverse from Hyannis to the West and Dennis to the East. Founded in 1639 after Sandwich, Yarmouth is the second oldest town on Cape Cod and is filled with historic charm. Yarmouth's rich history has contributed to a Cape Cod seaside community that offers a potpourri of activities for area vacationers. For the outdoor-minded, Yarmouth boasts 15 of Cape Cod’s finest fresh and saltwater beaches to laze away the days, 4 golf courses challenging all levels, 14 tennis courts for the more active, and many hiking trails through conservation lands.
Yarmouth truly has something for everyone. On the Northside in Yarmouth Port, tree lined historic Route 6A hosts an array of country inns and quaint bed & breakfasts, complemented by antique and craft shops and fine restaurants. The Southside along Route 28 offers the hustle and bustle of a summertime resort town, from factory outlet shopping to sea lion shows to the most adventurous mini-golf. Nightlife in Yarmouth is filled with moonlight walks on Cape Cod’s most beautiful beaches, candlelit dinners at the area's many fine restaurants, and dancing to music for all ages at one of several nightspots.
