Brewster

Named after Mayflower passenger William Brewster, this town is a throwback to Cape Cod’s simpler days and much of its leisurely charms and natural beauty can be enjoyed without straying far from Rte. 6A, also known as the Old King’s Highway. 

Brewster vacationers traveling along the historic way will find antique shops, museums, the Brewster Ladies’ Library and the Brewster Store, where a group of older residents still gathers on sunny mornings for coffee and conversation.

Rte. 6A rises above the Atlantic Ocean in places, offering impressive water views from spots like Drummer Boy Park and opens a door to Mother Nature at Nickerson State Park, 1,900 acres of wooded trails and ponds stocked with fish year-round.
