Eastham This is a great place to explore with the whole family on a not-so-perfect beach day! It is a 20 minute drive, lots of places to grab food on the way too. The Salt Pond Visitor Center is Cape Cod National Seashore's year-round visitor orientation facility. Located in Eastham, the center has a theater, America's National Parks store, museum, and restrooms. Nearby are the popular 1.5 mile Nauset Marsh Trail, the Nauset Bicycle Trail, and the Buttonbush Trail, a .25 mile multi-sensory trail that features a guide rope and text panels printed in large lettering and Braille, as well as discovery activities for children. In the visitor center lobby, a large map shows Cape Cod's glacial history, its position in the Gulf of Maine, and natural forces that continue to shape it. There are expansive views of the Salt Pond and Nauset Marsh from the lobby. The visitor center museum emphasizes the cultural themes represented on Cape Cod, including the First People--the Wampanoag; European settlement culture; fishing, life-saving, and lighthouses; communication technology; and tourism.
