EASTHAM – Cape Cod National Seashore’s location makes it ideal for exploring diverse natural resources and habitats through water and beach-based recreational activities.

Programs are held daily in locations from Eastham to Provincetown and equipment is provided for all programs.
“Kayak the Cape” is the national seashore’s newest water-based program.
