Local Favorites & Useful Spots

The oldest and tallest lighthouse on Cape Cod, first lit in 1797. The current 1857 tower rises 66 feet above the bluffs. Open for tours with panoramic ocean views from the top. Adjacent Highland House Museum preserves local history.
Highland Golf Links
The oldest golf course on Cape Cod, established in 1892. A 9-hole Scottish-links-style course perched on the bluffs overlooking the Atlantic. Affordable green fees and arguably the most dramatic ocean views of any golf course in New England.

A trail system through the Pamet River valley in the National Seashore. The North Pamet Road area offers access to cranberry bogs, dune landscapes, and Ballston Beach. A quieter alternative to the busier Seashore beaches.
