Shellfish Farm Tour

  • Wellfleet, MA United States (map)

Wellfleet Oyster Alliance

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 of 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.
