Whenever I'm spending a significant amount of time in Wellfleet, the second thing I do, after getting a lobster roll at PJ's, is get a library card at the Wellfleet Library. It's right in town and has a great selection of books, CDs, and DVDs. They are happy to have summer folks get cards and use them. I've never been short of good reading material. There's also a wonderful secondhand book sale in Wellfleet in early August every year that should not be missed. Enjoy!

Hard to miss the big sign on route 6 and what an awesome surprise to find these meticulously maintained RED clay courts near where we were vacationing. It takes a lot of work to keep these in great shape and my son and I came back almost everyday of our stay on the cape to play here. I look forward to coming back during my next Cape Cod vacation!!

Terrific beach that’s part of the Cape Cod National Seashore. The beach is absolutely stunning, but be prepared to climb down and up the sandy slope, but so worth it. The Beachcomber Restaurant is terrific and offers take out or eat in choices. Parking is limited ($30) , so get there early, although parking opens at 9am. The beach closes to swimming if sharks are seen in the water. We had to stay out of the water for about 90 minutes while there due to shark sitings off the coast. Overall one of the finer beach’s on Cape Cod

Indian Neck was a summer home for over 21 years, adulthood, making a living, robbed me of a longer stay. In the early mornings I would burst out of the cottage, run to the farest out sandbar, turn and admire the cottages that dotted the beach here and there. I remember being in all the cottages along the beach, the summer "complaints" were the greatest people, so open and fun loving, they made a child feel like the world was a haven for laughter and feeling good. Indian Neck Beach, the part I was from didn't have those high cliff dunes, it had relatively smaller dunes, mostly fitted with stairs to climb up from the beach. My friends stairs had a history of washing away, until after a few seasons of rebuilding them, they bought aluminun light weight steps that lasted for years. The stairs were placed on the flat land beside the house in the winter. The memories of the surf, sand, tides, water, and friends live on in my mind, where they will always be. I loved the place and still do. I haven't been there in ten years, I miss it.
