About Yarmouth
Yarmouth is convenient to Hyannis and the rest of Cape Cod. A very popular destination for families, Yarmouth has many motels & hotels. Like Dennis, it encompasses both the north and the south side of the Cape, and each section has its own flavor. Yarmouthport, along Rte, 6A on the northside, is where you will find historic homes, antique stores, and fine restaurants, as well as the beautiful Bass Hole with a boardwalk perfect for watching sunsets. Rte. 28, along the south side, is full of shopping, family fun and entertainment, such as mini-golf (complete with miniature lighthouses), the Zooquarium, and many family-style seafood restaurants (most with yummy, classic entrees like the fisherman's platter, lazy lobster, etc.) South Yarmouth also has its share of nightlife, and many beaches on the Nantucket Sound.

History
One of the oldest towns on Cape Cod, Yarmouth was established in 1639. There are indications that Leif Ericson navigated Bass River over 1,000 years ago. A bi-coastal town, Yarmouth offers a diversity of activities. There is the faster paced south side with Route 28, lined with gift shops, restaurants, mini-golf and more; and also the quieter north side which Route 6A winds through, lined with stately sea captains' homes, and views of the bay.

Grey's Beach Boardwalk in Yarmouth offers a unique view of Cape Cod's marshes.
