*(Indigenous History Tour)

On the famed flats of Cape Cod Bay, within the tranquil waters of Wellfleet Harbor, lives Wellfleet’s storied shellfish industry. From late June through mid-September, WOA hosts farm visits to some of the 108 aquaculture operations that call our local waters home. These low tide walking adventures offer an up-close look at what exactly goes into growing and harvesting a variety of local shellfish. If you like shucking and slurping, you are sure to love a visit to the special place that makes it all possible.
