Three villages make up the 17 square mile town of Yarmouth Cape Cod: West Yarmouth, Yarmouthport, and South Yarmouth. Each village has a distinctive character formed by over 350 years of history. A community shaped by its seaside heritage, Yarmouth has retained much of historic charm while integrating the present into its surroundings. To gain a true perspective of our town you must stray from the major roadways of Route 6 and 28 that traverse from Hyannis to the West and Dennis to the East. Yarmouth is the second oldest town on Cape Cod, and it is filled with historic charm.
Yarmouth's rich history has grown a Cape Cod seaside community that offers a potpourri of activities for area vacationers. For the outdoor minded, Yarmouth boasts 15 of Cape Cod’s finest fresh and saltwater beaches to laze away the days, 4 golf courses challenging all levels, 14 tennis courts for the more active, and many hiking, and conservation trails. Yarmouth, Cape Cod truly has something for everyone. On the Northside in Yarmouth Port, tree lined historic Route 6A hosts an array of country inns and quaint bed & breakfasts, complemented by antique and craft shops. The Southside along Route 28 offers the hustle and bustle of a summertime resort town, from factory outlet shopping to sea lion shows to the most adventurous mini-golf. Nightlife in Yarmouth is filled with moonlight walks on Cape Cod’s most beautiful beaches, candle lit dinners at the area's many restaurants, and dancing to music for all ages at one of several clubs.
On January 7, 1639.the court record refers to the land grant to the first settlers John Crow, Thomas Howes, and Anthony Thacher as "the lands of Mattacheeset, now called Yarmouth". This is considered the first usage of the name.
"Yarmouth" to represent the new township to the east of Barnstable. This name comes from the English township located on the eastern coast of that country, a little over 100 miles north of London .But how was it that the name Yarmouth was selected? After all, none of the three initial settlers hailed from that English town. The first settlers to accompany Crow, Howes, and Thacher came from cities and villages throughout England, though it's believed that not one of them came from Yarmouth. To trace the origin of the name, it is necessary to trace the path of the Pilgrims. After all during that period it was Plimoth Colony that had jurisdiction over which Cape Cod settlements would be incorporated, and by what name those new townships would be known. Yarmouth, England, during the age of the Pilgrims, was an important seaport on the Yare River. Across the North Sea from Yarmouth , to the east is the Netherlands- the former home country of a portion of the Mayflower passengers. These Dutch passengers arrived in England via the port of Yarmouth, and therefore the naming of the new Cape township appears to be the tip of the cap to the English seaport. Or, perhaps Bass River simply reminded the Pilgrims of the river Yare River of their former England. The true reason for the naming of Yarmouth, Cape Cod may never be known. Yarmouth England, incidentally, was known for its fishing and its shipyards. The Germans bombed it over 50 times during World War II killing over 1,000 residents, injuring some 8,000 others, and destroying nearly 4,000 homes. Besides being a major seaport, Yarmouth was also a railways crossroads. In more recent years, brewing and tourism have played a major role in its economy. The population is now a quarter million.
Bass River is an estuary and village in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, United States. The estuary separates the towns of Yarmouth and Dennis at the central, southern sections of the towns. At its widest and most southerly point, it opens to and meets Nantucket Sound. Its brackish, northwestern end flows into Follins Pond, from there winding further north as a brook, then an underground stream that nearly bisects Cape Cod.
The mouth of the river is between Smugglers Beach on the Yarmouth side and West Dennis Beach on the Dennis side. West Dennis beach has become a popular site for kite boarding in the past few years. In the same way Kalmus Beach in Hyannis has become popular for windsurfing. Once inside the river, there is a large land mass covered with sea grass in the middle of which is a large bay. The island is called 'Grass Island' by the locals.
Grass Island separates Bass River into two parts. The right side of the river goes towards West Dennis and the Fingers development. The left side is the main branch of the river passing Windmill Beach, Bass River Yacht Club, and Shipshops Marina. After the marina, the river goes under a large bridge and continues deep into the cape.
Bas River is home to a friendly rivalry between West Dennis Yacht Club and the Bass River Yacht Club. These clubs also compete against Hyannis Yacht Club, Wianno Yacht Club, and others in the Southern Massachusetts Sailing Association team racing circuit. The Yarmouth shores are home to Bass River Golf Course, which is owned and operated by the town of Yarmouth.
"Sumptuous" is the only way to describe this 1845 inn, improbably set amid a peaceful garden, a block off bustling Route 28. A skilled interior decorator has combined fine antiques and striking contemporary touches to lift this inn's interiors way above the average homey B&B decor. Some suites are apartment-size, containing sitting rooms equipped with a fireplace, and whirlpool-tub bathrooms bigger than the average bedroom. Next door, the 1825 Elisha Jenkins House contains an additional large suite with its own sun deck. Welcoming touches in rooms include chocolates, fresh flowers, and plush robes. Breakfast consists of three courses served in the formal dining room or the sunny courtyard. The central location puts the entire Cape, from Woods Hole to Provincetown, within a 45-minute drive, assuming you can tear yourself from this pampering environment.
The Scene Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this bed and breakfast exudes the provincial charm of Cape Cod. Relax on the Adirondack chairs that grace the large veranda, enjoy the nearby beach, or walk, jog or bike on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Guests can also hop on a ferry to Nantucket or the Vineyard. Children under 12 are not allowed, making the inn ideal for romantic getaways.
The Details Guest rooms are individually decorated. Some feature private access to the wrap-around veranda, while others include Jacuzzis and iron canopy beds draped with damask duvet covers. Suites boast private sun decks, antique beds, fireplaces and brick patios. A gourmet, three-course breakfast is served in a glass-encased courtyard that makes it feel as if you are dining in a greenhouse. A Waterford chandelier glistens above the dining room, and complimentary cocktails are served in the parlor in the evening
