WELCOME TO BREWSTER

 The most special and iconic feature of Brewster is the Brewster Flats. This is the widest expanse of tidal flats in North America. During low tide, the water recedes over a mile out into Cape Cod Bay, revealing a vast, sandy landscape of tidal pools, sandbars, and marine life. You can walk for miles, exploring the ocean floor and searching for crabs, shells, and snails. It's a truly surreal and unforgettable experience, especially at sunset.

 Brewster has a rich maritime history, earning it the nickname "Sea Captain's Town." In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was home to more sea captains than almost any other town in the country. This legacy is visible in the well-preserved sea captain's mansions and historic homes that line Route 6A, many of which have been converted into charming inns, art galleries, and antique shops.

  Route 6A (also known as the Old King's Highway) is central to the charm of the Lower Cape.  This historic route is on the northern, or bay side, of Cape Cod, and winds its way through some of the oldest villages in America, including Bourne, Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Brewster and Orleans. Many of the homes and churches along this tree-shaded road are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 

One of the true defining features of Brewster, MA, is its access to Historic Route 6A. This scenic road runs right through town and serves as the cultural spine of the Lower Cape. It is lined with beautifully preserved Sea Captains' Homes, offering a glimpse into the town’s maritime past. Take a leisurely drive or stroll to explore the many charming antique shops, local art galleries, and unique boutiques that make this stretch of road a treasure hunter's paradise. Staying at our Brewster cottage rental means you are perfectly situated to enjoy both the natural beauty of the Brewster Flats and the classic New England character of this historic highway.
