stunningly picturesque Bass Hole boardwalk at Yarmouth Port’s
Grays 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. 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.
Each year, from Memorial Day through midOctober, more than thirty Yarmouth businesses and
organizations display a gravity-defying, hand-carved
sand sculpture in front of their establishments for
the Yarmouth Sand Sculpture Trail. The Yarmouth
Chamber of Commerce provides colorful maps
for everyone interested in following this free,
family-friendly, town-wide trail and hosts a fun
photo contest with prizes for most creative, best
location, and best sand sculpture selfie. Created by
Massachusetts-based Fitzysnowman Sculpting, the
sculptures reflect each business or town office in a
jocular and artistic way.
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.
