About Yarmouth, MA

A quintessential Cape Cod town, Yarmouth is a wonderful destination for a couples’ escape or a fun family holiday. This part of Massachusetts promises a terrific range of outdoor activities, as well as charming old buildings housing lovely shops and eateries. Appealing accommodation options include everything from simple B&Bs to luxurious inns fit for a host of tastes and budgets. Many of the best places to stay in Yarmouth are within easy reach of the beach, the countryside and foodie hotspots aplenty.

Founded in the 17th Century by English settlers, life in Yarmouth centred upon its port, and it is now a wonderful base for those looking to kayak, fish or sail — both at sea and along the Bass River. Enjoy long, lazy days of sunshine and sand at Seagull Beach, Bass River Beach and Colonial Acres Beach. The boardwalk at Gray’s Beach is brilliant for spotting sea life, and there’s some great birdwatching in the nearby marshes and creeks. Venture further afield for myriad cycling and hiking trails, golf courses, and the chance to see Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.

Culture aficionados will love strolling along the Captain’s Mile, lined with almost 50 historic sea captains’ homes. Guided tours of Captain Bangs Hallett House are particularly impressive. Head to the Edward Gorey House for an insight into the life of the famous illustrator, peer heavenwards through the Werner Schmidt Observatory telescope, and take the whole family to the Whydah Pirate Museum — a sure-fire hit with the kids!

Round off your days with seafood feasts at Yarmouth’s relaxed eateries, followed by a craft beer or two. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance of most of the best places to stay in Yarmouth.
