West Dennis Beach showing a beach and marine life

Great fishing, placid waters and New England cuisine are all available for you at this Cape Cod town.

Indulge your senses as you enter the hamlet of West Dennis. Inhale the scent of salty air and listen for gulls squawking as they soar over the busy harbour. Walk down one of Dennis’ many shoreline trails to look for sailboats coming in from the horizon.

West Dennis has become a preferred tourist destination because of its combination of cosy New England maritime culture and convenient amenities. Canoe through a winding channel among reedy beach grasses. Spend the afternoon shopping or playing golf. Do all this in one day and later enjoy a short walk to sample fish and chips, raw shellfish or homemade candies.

Swim or walk along West Dennis Beach. This windy beach is an ideal spot for flying kites and wind surfing. Throughout the year it is a wonderfully secluded spot for pleasant walks. Rent a kayak or paddleboard and navigate the placid waters. Set out on a boat tour and learn about the rich ecology.

The town of West Dennis is filled with a special charm. Enjoy shopping for handmade Santa Claus figurines, elaborate blown glassworks or a piece of artisanal bead jewellery. Bring the children on a Family and Kids Fishing Cruise, which features enough of a fishing adventure to keep everyone in the family happy.

While you’re in West Dennis, see a performance at The Cape Playhouse. Here you will find Tony Award-winning plays and other performances, making it seem as though Broadway is just next door.

To reach West Dennis, fly into Boston Logan International Airport and drive 78 miles (125 kilometres) southeast. Rent a car at the airport or take a bus to Hyannis, which is 7 miles (11 kilometres) away from West Dennis.

Whether you are in the area for a daytrip while on a tour of Cape Cod or planning to stay for a week or more, find accommodation to suit your budget. Come see why regular visitors to Cape Cod have developed special affection for West Dennis.
