Wellfleet, Coastal town in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, United States.
Wellfleet features numerous sandy beaches along the Atlantic coast, with dunes and salt marshes creating natural barriers between land and sea.
The town established itself as a prominent fishing port in the 1650s when European settlers recognized the potential of its deep natural harbor.
The Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary maintains 937 acres of protected land where visitors can observe native birds and marine species in their habitats.
