5. Marconi Beach. This beautiful beach sits on the Atlantic Ocean side of town. It's one of the most popular summer beaches on Cape Cod, and has some incredible views. The surf is a bit rougher, but it's well worth the visit. Expect to pay to park, and get there early to ensure yourself a parking spot!

4. Art Galleries in Wellfleet. This town contains the 2nd most number of art galleries on Cape Cod, behind Provincetown. Check out the local artwork at galleries in Wellfleet Center, just off Route 6, or the many galleries right on Route 6. Don't be afraid to venture off the main road and find a hidden gem!

3. Wellfleet Bay View from Route 6. This incredible view of Blackfish Creek on Route 6 is often seen, but seldomly truly appreciated. The wide open marsh meets the road at Route 6, and provides a panoramic view of Cape Cod Bay and Wellfleet Bay. It's especially scenic at sunset. Take a drive by this area to sneek a peak.

2. Wellfleet Drive In Theater. You can't miss this age-old drive-in located on Route 6. It's a double feature, so set aside some time for an unforgettable experience!
