Welcome to The Outer Cape! The Outer Cape is a unique place to live, just ask anyone who calls it home or their place to escape to in the summer. Here are some useful information and links about this great area. The staff of Claire Carroll Properties is knowledgable about the Outer Cape - feel free to ask them about things to do, places to see as well as dining and special local events.

While most everyone comes to the Outer Cape for its pristine beaches and to find solitude, there is much more to discover and enjoy during your vacation here. From Wellfleet to Provincetown, from Cape Cod Bay to the Atlantic Ocean, this land is dominated by the Cape Cod National Seashore. These three towns are rich in tradition and in history.

Wellfleet boasts the only town clock in the world that still rings on ships time,
Truro is the town where whaling first was discovered, and
Provincetown can claim the spot where the Pilgrims first landed and its the first art colony in America.
