Took my family here on the first day of our arrival into Cape Cod to watch a sunset. We were not disappointed. The parking area is a little tight but it's offseason during our visit with some room to spare. Might be harder to park in the summer. A short walk from the lot to the beach. There are tidal pools which are great for nature lovers of all ages. We didn't walk very far and might if we ever came back.

The mission of the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is to inspire appreciation, understanding and stewardship of our natural environment through discovery and learning. The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History integrates the three strands of its organizational identity - as museum of natural history, nature education center, and steward of conservation land. As a small museum of natural history, we will preserve, exhibit, and interpret our own collections of natural history artifacts and display relevant traveling and loan exhibits. We may also collaborate with local and regional organizations on co-sponsored exhibits. As a nature education center, we will engage children and adults in high-quality programs, classes, lectures, panel discussions, workshops, films, walks, field trips, traditions and interactive exhibits that reveal the many facets of the natural world and the reciprocal impacts that humans and nature exert on each other. As befits a nature education center, we will explore our potential as a center for citizen scientists and amateur naturalists, and as a forum for informed discussion of important issues related to the natural world, especially on Cape Cod. As a steward of 400-plus acres of museum-owned land in Stony Brook Valley and Brewster conservation land adjacent to the museum, including Wing's Island, the salt marsh, and the beach along Cape Cod Bay between Quivett and Paine's Creeks, we will monitor and protect the land and focus our programming on its varied habitats - our outdoor classroom and teaching tool. Programs may also take place elsewhere on Cape Cod and in New England when appropriate.

This is a wonderful small museum with a great feel for the Cape and its sea denizens. Excellent for children of all ages and thoughtful displays which are readily accessible and understandable. A serious and friendly staff which reflects a real commitment to marine education and environmental responsibility.

A gen of a store with fun knick-knacks, antiques, and foods/toiletries. There's a quaint old-time feel to the Brewster store, and friendly staff. It didn't feel like a gimmicky tourist-stop, but a business that is cared for and loved by its staff.

Three of us went to the landing and enjoyed watching kite flying. We brought chairs and walked the sandy beach. So relaxing!

My husband and I took a drive down the Cape this past Sunday and decided to play some mini golf. I was curious after seeing some pictures and reviews. We were not looking for the typical route 28 mini golf experience with giant plastic pirates or animals and gimmicky wacky holes. The owner was working that day and he was very friendly and helped us right away. The price is very fair and we were happily surprised. The course is beautiful with natural landscaping, beautiful plantings and challenging holes. We loved that it was a little smaller that the usual and more intimate and homey than the typical hokey mini golf courses around here. There was also some great music playing from hidden speakers all over the course. The other thing that was a delightful surprise was the fact that the owner placed insect repellent to use, FOR FREE at almost every hole. Such a nice thing to do, you can tell the owner really cares. We absolutely loved it and will definitely return! As a local it’s fun to go somewhere a bit off the beaten path that doesn’t feel like such a tourist trap. Thank you for having us!

It is a small beach that does not appear to get too crowded---ideal for families with children---because of it's size, it is easier to keep an eye on active kids. It has a parking lot that is close, but it is not that large. Be sure to check the tide charts before you go---if you want to swim, the tide must be in, as when the tide is out, it goes out much further than you want to be walking to go swimming. We loved experiencing the tide being out, as it is quite a site--you almost have to see it to believe it. Check out my photos for more details.
