Life at Wequassett
The Cape
Cape Cod is a crescent shaped peninsula of 90 miles and extends 35 miles out into the Atlantic off the coast of southeastern Massachusetts. It’s the site of 15 towns and many quaint villages with a rich maritime history. As a popular summertime vacation destination, it’s known for its many beaches, golf courses, lighthouses, and seafood.
Wequassett Resort is nestled on the “elbow” of Cape Cod’s Atlantic Ocean coastline, sheltered by Pleasant Bay and just outside the village of charming Chatham.
The Resort
Our stunning five-star resort sits on the sandy beaches of Pleasant Bay. Wequassett is a perfect beachside hideaway, boasting two pools, two private beaches, five acclaimed restaurants, four Har Tru tennis courts, and eighteen holes of golf.
The Resort goes above and beyond just lodging by providing an exceptional experience with unique amenities that suit every guests’ needs.
Housing
Flexible housing options include our main motel called The Cove as well as additional motels and nearby house rentals. You’re sure to feel at home at Wequassett.

A shuttle service is provided to and from the resort by Wequassett to those living at The Cove. Public transportation includes the Flex bus which makes frequent stops from Harwich to Provincetown and back from Monday through Saturday. Uber is an easy way to get around; Lyft is not prevalent on the Cape. Bikes and scooters are also used for transport. Many employees have cars and there’s opportunity for ride sharing.
