Outer Cape, located between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, is a coastal and conservation-minded Eastham neighborhood with dune-backed beaches and pine-scented trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Orleans–Eastham Rotary at US-6 and MA-6A, where roadside seafood shacks, bike-rental counters, and beach-day essentials set a salt-air tempo. Low-slung Cape cottages and shingled homes sit behind scrub oak, with long driveways and dark-sky nights. The Cape Cod National Seashore frames daily rhythms with Nauset Light Beach and Coast Guard Beach. The Cape Cod Rail Trail threads through town for car-free rides to ponds and bay flats. The Eastham Windmill and the Three Sisters Lighthouses keep local history in view.
