Approximately half of Wellfleet falls within the resplendent Cape Cod National Seashore. The town is also home to the pristine Massachusetts Audubon Society’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, whose more than 1,000 acres of panoramic salt marsh, sandy barrier beach, and pine woodlands attract hundreds of species of songbirds, shore birds, and other wildlife. Residents of Wellfleet have long embraced conservation efforts to protect hundreds of acres from future development, lending the town a quaint rural character. Home to the Cape Cod Modern House Trust, Wellfleet has a significant number of contemporary structures, as well as iconic Cape Cod cottages, historic downtown homes, and properties overlooking the bay and ocean.

Duck Harbor is one of the few bay beaches in town that is not located on Wellfleet Harbor. This usually uncrowded spot has gentle dunes, warm water, and a beautiful view of Provincetown. Its rocky sand gets partially covered at high tide, making the beach area smaller at times, but the sunsets are spectacular, as the glowing sun seems to drop right into Cape Cod Bay.
