Snow’s Home and Garden Center is a family-run store established in 1887 by William and Annie Snow, whose ancestors were among the original English families that settled Eastham and Orleans. The store originally sold coal, wood, nails, hand tools, and other supplies to local residents. Today, the tradition continues with a large selection of top-quality home and garden products, and around the holidays, an elaborate train display, which entertains people of all ages.

Generations of Orleans residents have enjoyed the hidden gem that is the Outer Beach. Accessible only in an approved over-sand vehicle and with a permit from the Town of Orleans, this five-mile stretch of south Nauset Beach is a rare treat. Families and friends park their 4x4s between ocean and dune to delight in the stunning scenery and pounding surf.
