Categoría: Familias, Ir de compras
Wellfleet Flea Market turns the parking lot of the cape’s drive-in theater into a sprawling treasure hunt. Root through tables of old Cape Cod memorabilia, try on vintage clothing and jewelry, or inspect antiques and collectibles for something with a story behind it. The lineup changes with whoever arrives to sell, and on busy summer days as many as 150 vendors can spread across the grounds.
Challenge your companions to a round on the retro 18-hole mini-golf course. Cool off afterward at the Dairy Bar with a soft-serve sundae, hand-mixed milkshake, or root beer float, then stay after sunset for a movie under the stars at the Wellfleet Drive-In theater.

10. Orleans Farmers’ Market
From summer scallops to winter harvests
Categoría: Gastronomía en , Ir de compras
At Orleans Farmers’ Market, the displays change color and character with the Cape Cod seasons. Summer brings baskets of ripe tomatoes, sweet corn, and berries to pair with locally caught scallops or oysters. Come winter, the market moves indoors and the brighter harvest gives way to earthy root vegetables and other cold-weather crops. Whatever the month, you can fill the gaps with locally raised meat and eggs, golden Cape honey, jars of preserves, and fresh bread and pastries.
In the warmer months, visit the neighboring Artist Cottages, where you can browse Cape-inspired photography, pottery, paintings, fabric art, jewelry, and home decor, often with the artists themselves on hand to talk about their work or give demonstrations.
