Best Shellfishing Spots on Cape Cod

Courtesy of C Dannhauser

Spring makes us love the Cape for a lot of different reasons, not the least of which is the warming weather and water.  Warmer water means that we no longer need to worry about hypothermia when participating in one of the best Cape Cod activities, shellfishing.  Each town has unique regulations and areas that are open and closed depending on the season.  Check out the listings below for more details in your town.  We also provide one or two suggestions of our favorite places but we suggest you find your own!

    Sandy Neck Beach cottages if anyone has a pass to go out here and the point near the light house is the best place.
