Located at the elbow of the Cape, Wellfleet is 7 miles long and 3 miles wide. It is flanked on the east by the deep blue Atlantic ocean and the calm, Cape Cod Bay sits on the West. Wellfleet is one of the few Cape Cod villages where one can watch the sunrise in the crisp sea air, and end the day relaxing with the sunset after a full day of activities.

Wellfleet's well sheltered harbor is a delight to the boating community. The harbor supports many forms of commercial and recreational boating, fishing and shellfishing. There are many inlets and coves throughout the town. These marsh hid-aways are a perfect retreats for vacationers and locals. Much of the beach and marsh areas are protected by the National Seashore, which makes up 70% of Wellfleet.
