About Brewster

A laid-back Cape Cod spot popular with lovers of the great outdoors, Brewster is a brilliant destination for explorers or relaxed holidaymakers. There is a good selection of guesthouses and small hotels to choose from — the best places to stay in Brewster are charming heritage inns with heaps of character.

Most of the town’s antique shops, galleries and eateries are clustered around Main St, perfect for a coffee, evening drinks or a superb dinner of fresh, seasonal produce. Historic highlights include the Brewster Store and the Brewster Historical Society Museum, as well as many of our favourite inns, which were built in the eighteenth or nineteenth century.

The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is just out of town in one direction, whilst Nickerson State Park sits a few moments to the other side. The Cape Cod Rail Trail also cuts straight across Brewster, so there’s heaps to see and do. Enjoy adventurous days of hiking and cycling, take scenic strolls along the tidal flats, go kayaking, fishing or whale watching, before playing a round of golf at one of the area’s many courses. With quirky lighthouses, museums and galleries to visit in Brewster and nearby Chatham, culture aficionados will be spoilt for choice, too.

Whether you’re a quiet couple dreaming of tranquility, an outdoorsy family or an active group of friends eager to discover the best of the Cape Cod region, Brewster is a fantastic base. Many of the best places to stay in Brewster are small and intimate, so they fill up fast. Book your trip well in advance if you plan to travel during peak season!
