Fun on the Flats

The Brewster flats are an extensive tidal flat system on Cape Cod Bay, stretching over 12,000 acres. During low tide, the flats reveal vast expanses of sandbars, tidal pools, and marine life, creating a unique environment for exploration. The Brewster flats on Cape Cod are a diverse and vibrant habitat, teeming with marine life. Visitors can find a variety of mollusks such as quahogs, soft-shell clams, and blue mussels. Crustaceans like green crabs, hermit crabs, fiddler crabs, and the fascinating horseshoe crabs are common, especially during their breeding season. Small fish, including silversides and sand eels, swim in the shallow waters. The flats are also a bird-watcher's paradise, hosting shorebirds like sandpipers, plovers, and oystercatchers. Additionally, sea stars, snails, and marine worms inhabit this rich ecosystem, making it a unique and captivating area to explore.

Dogs allowed on the flats in the Spring, Fall and Winter
