We came to purchase a dump sticker for a family member and overall were dissapointed by the rude staff. This time around the experience was very different in a good way. I stopped in this afternoon to purchase our beach stickers. The staff at the front desk was polite and when I got to the window I needed the cashiers were also very pleasant. One of our registrations still had our old address and they went out of their way to look up our information to provide us the sticker. In the end, I'm happy with the visit and hope that this track record continues. The only dissapointment with this town hall is that it can be incredibly tough to get them on the phone.

Growing up in Falmouth I have spent a lot of time coming to and from this particular dump. This dump allows you to drop off not only grass clippings but leaves and other seasonal yard clippings at no cost. In the past this dump has been amazing because the staff was always making sure the dump piles weren't so massive that it made it difficult to drop off a load. This weekend when I visited I was a bit let down because the town has let this dump slip away a bit. The road into the dump needs to be graded and it was full of potholes. The dump piles were also so large that it made it difficult to find a safe place to drop off while not being in other people's way. Overall, this place has been much better in the past and could definitely get back to that point if the staff gave it a little TLC.

Took 6 weeks for a couple to come and do these. Some sculptures were 3 ton of sand , some were 5 and one was 15ton! It was special and brought in from New Hampshire.

The walk is scenic and surpasses the quality captured in my photograph. It features a pleasant wooded path leading to the beach, which I highly recommend experiencing with proper footwear due to the stairs, rocks, and tree branches along the trail. Although the path to The Knob was somewhat confusing due to a lack of signage, the overall experience is relaxing with numerous scenic views. I visited in the afternoon and found parking to be readily available. I had a delightful experience. Like I mentioned, my pictures do not do it justice, it is very pretty!

I recommend wearing bug spray as there are a lot of bugs along the trail. The paths can be alittle hard to navigate as there are not many signs directing you to The Knob.

Guns ocean and…read morethorns The Sagamore Hill Historic Site is the remains of an old battery of two 155 mm artillery pieces that were placed here in WW 2 to protect the Cape Cod Canal and surrounding area against German subs. Like most coastal defense forts, the guns were never fired in anger and were removed after the war. The fort was decommissioned and turned into a park. The site has wide and open trails in the beginning and getting to the site where the old guns were is pretty easy. You can see a few remains of the artillery battery but the main attraction is the great views of the ocean and hills around Sagamore. The site is a nice place for some hiking, easy off road bike riding or snow shoeing and cross country skiing in the winter. However if you try and complete the whole loop be advised that the trail narrows considerably after you reach the artillery site and in the summer gets over grown with impressive thorns, very healthy poison ivy and hordes of ticks. A pleasant and seldom used place that offers a bit of history, great views of the ocean or some exercise. But like many trails in this area it's probably best left till the cold weather.

A library with a…read more porch Wellfleet is a pleasant little town on Cape Cod. It's typical of many Cape Cod towns with beautiful beaches, great dunes, open ocean and a unique charm. So it's quite appropriate that the town has a beautiful and unique library. The library is actually quite new and the books weren't moved into the building until 1989. Before that the official Wellfleet Library took a circuitous route that took them into several different locations around town. Seemed the library was always jumping around. The first library started in 1893 when the books were just sort of piled in the back of the First Congregational Church. Over the years the library took up residence in a bank, dry good stores, town hall and finally an old curtain factory. The poor books certainly had to move around a lot over the years but finally have found a permanent home. The present library is a wonderful place. The first thing that catches the eye is the huge porch. A great place to sit outside and read, talk to friends or just relax. The inside has over 10,000 square feet and separates into several rooms which makes it a convenient place to hold meetings, events and displays. Of course the library has all the usually amenities of a modern library and helpful and extremely pleasant and friendly librarians but it's the cool, rustic and unique charm and great porch that makes this library special. It took a century to find it's permanent home but I suspect that the library is going to be in this spot for a long, long time.
