How about a Dune Tour in Provincetown?

Unforgettable Cape Cod!


Art's Dune Tour

One of the most exciting, unique experiences visitors to the outer Cape can have is taking a Dune Tour  with Art's through the huge sand dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore's Provincelands.  The awesome size of the sand "hills", with professional narrative by the tour guide, provides for an unforgettable Cape Cod experience! 


Art's Dune Tour...sunset tour to Bay

 For a special treat, sign up for the sunset tour and clam bake.   Yup...a real lobster/clam bake on the beach.  





Looking for a romantic spot to stay for 3 to 7 nights?


Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast- Main House with 2 suites and one ocean-view cottage


It's not too late to book unique lodging: a private suite or ocean-view cottage in the historic Fort Hill Area of National Seashore Park.  Eastham has a central location that allows visitors to enjoy all the Cape has to offer, including whale watches, quant towns, and ferries to the islands.  Check out our reviews and give us a call.   At the Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast we treat all our guests to outstanding hospitality and some of the best breakfasts they have ever eaten.  Really.

What's going on this spring near Eastham?




Spring.  Finally.  That means the outer Cape is a burst of color--green, pink, blue, and smells--lilac, honeysuckle, peony, freshly mown grass and salt air!  



A magical time to celebrate the season and see the sights!




But there are attractions, besides the National Seashore, that make spring a special time to visit Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast

 Here is a sampling of a few events coming up during the next few weeks.  Check them out and give us a call if you can sneak away for a couple of nights to celebrate the season.  We would love to host you!

Sitting on a pot of Gold: Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast, Overlooking the Atlantic





A picture really does not do this awesome sight justice.  It was a fast moving thunderstorm, leaving a clear, cool blue sky behind it that produced a double light-show rainbow.  We feel so lucky to live and work here at Fort Hill.  How many people can look out their kitchen window and know that they are sitting on the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

You could be lucky too!  We still have a few vacancies in the house and cottage.  Give us a call before we are full!

Best Lobster Shack on Cape Cod

Looking for some of the best Lobster in New England?  Right here in Eastham, just a couple of minutes from the Fort Hill Bed and Breakfast, you will find one of Yankee Magazine's Top Picks for the Best New England Lobster Shacks.  Yum...butter dripping down your chin and maybe even a round of miniature golf and and ice cream cone to cap off the summer season!

Coast Guard Beach, National Seashore, Eastham, MA

Our guests never get tired of visiting this world class beach.  Coast Guard Beach in Eastham is regularly listed as one of the top 10 beaches in the USA, so it's no wonder that so many people want to stay on the outer cape, close to the sea!  One of the big advantages of staying at Fort Hill B+B is the easy access to 2 National Seashore Beaches, Coast Guard Beach and Nauset Lighthouse Beach.  There is a small fee for parking at these beaches but did you know that if one of your party is over 62 that they qualify for the Golden Pass?  Yup, stop at the Salt Pond Visitor's Center in Eastham to purchase a $10 lifetime pass that will allow the driver and passengers to enter and park free for life.  The pass is good for all National Parks.
