Three centuries of salt and tradition
Wellfleet's oyster beds have fed this coast since 1665, when commercial fishing began in these waters. By the mid-1800s, the town was the oyster capital of the world — a title earned through generations of skill and respect for the harvest. The OysterFest celebrates that lineage: live music, local crafts, and endless oysters pulled from the same beds that built this place. Stay at a Robert Paul property and you're not just visiting Cape Cod — you're stepping into the working heart of it, where the salt air carries centuries of maritime heritage.
