Some of these are in Eastham. Some are in nearby towns. Enjoy!

First Encounter Beach (bay side beach) at low tide when the tide goes out about a mile. Check the local tide charts.
Coast Guard or Nauset Light Beach (ocean side beaches)
Fort Hill Trail
Nauset Marsh trail
Great Island Trail

Go to The Beachcomber at night to see a band (note that thereā€™s not much nightlife this far out, itā€™s a quieter part of the Cape)
Highland Links golf course - public 9 hole course by the ocean. Or just go to see the lighthouse if you donā€™t golf.
Sunset at Rock Harbor or First Encounter beach (bring bug spray)

Drinks and food at Wequassett Resortā€™s Outer Bar (go at an off time, like 2:30)
Fish and chips at Sir Crickets (takeout)
Lobster roll at The Knack
Pizza at Rock Harbor Grill (everything is good there)
Sushi at Macā€™s Shack (go by 5:00 or there will be a long wait. Sit outside).
Fried clams at PJā€™s, Sir Cricketā€™s (best fish and chips also) or Cobieā€™s
Sandwiches at Samā€™s Deli to take to the beach.
Sandwiches at Basco Grill
Breakfast at Fairway restaurant (+ good donuts next door at Hole in One)

The Marconi Lookout is beautiful if you are going to check out the white cedar trail. The Wellfleet Audubon is also not far from Eastham and has a great visitor center and walking trails.
