The town of Yarmouth has three highly regarded golf courses, numerous freshwater ponds, eight marine-based boat ramps, and four marinas, including Packet Landing Park and Marina on the Bass River near Route 28, which is home to commercial fishing vessels, fishing charters, and recreational boats. Throughout Yarmouth, you can find every kind of real estate option: historic houses dating back to the 1700s, affordable starter homes, ease-of-living townhouses, and grand waterfront mansions. Peaceful side streets near the Bass River lead to the busier commercial zone on Route 28 with supermarkets, banks, hotels, and restaurants, as well as tourism-focused entertainment for people of all ages. The esteemed Cultural Center of Cape Cod in South Yarmouth presents year-round events in the visual and performing arts, the colonial era Taylor-Bray Farm in Yarmouth Port is open for public tours, and visitors can observe working cranberry bogs and oyster farms in West Yarmouth.

Incorporated in 1639, Yarmouth is one of the oldest towns on Cape Cod. History defines much of the northern section of town, the village of Yarmouth Port, where the Historical Society of Yarmouth runs several museums and notable buildings open to visitors, and also maintains a series of beautiful walking trails that meander through hilly woodland and past small ponds. Situated in the middle of the Cape peninsula, Yarmouth’s location makes it convenient to everything the region has to offer. The town borders Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound, and Bass River, a tidal estuary that was once an important route for both cargo and passengers. The stunningly picturesque Bass Hole boardwalk at Yarmouth Port’s Gray’s Beach stretches out over salt marshes into Cape Cod Bay, while a series of soft sand beaches on Nantucket Sound offer relaxation and fun on the southern edge of town.
