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.
