Eastham MA
 Eastham is
a coastal resort community on the Outer Cape. This community is bordered
by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Cape Cod Bay to the west. Much of
its Atlantic shore is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore.
Eastham was originally founded by seven members of a delegation from Plymouth
Colony.
The town has several harbors and features abundant shellfish. Eastham's
summer resort history began as early as 1830 when the Methodist Church
established a summer campground here. Some original landscapes are still
visible in a preserved section of town located within National Seashore
borders.
