Route 6A
There’s no other highway in the country that’s like Route
6A. Historic Old King’s Highway meanders from one
end of the Cape to the other, passing salt marshes,
cranberry bogs and four centuries of architecture along
its 62-mile stretch. Less highway and more scenic drive,
driving this route and stopping to explore is a great way
to really immerse yourself in Cape Cod culture.
Stops along the way include Grainger Pottery (478
Route 6A) in Sandwich, which is known for taking casts
of actual fish then creating stunning decorative clay
versions of them. At Eldred’s Auction Gallery (1483
Route 6A) in Dennis, three generations of the same
family have run New England’s leading auction house.
Its tasteful galleries are full of art and decorative pieces
with a story. Also in Dennis, Littlenecks (766 Route 6A)
is the place to find organic, new, vintage and pre-loved
clothing and gifts for the littles in your life.

Another stop on 6A in Dennis is Cape Abilities Farm
(458 Route 6A), where individuals with disabilities are
provided employment and opportunities to interact with
the local community. The farm sells organic produce,
flowers and handmade gifts, all while cultivating an
inclusive community. In East Dennis, Ross Coppelman
Goldsmith (1439 Route 6A) has been designing and
hand crafting his elegant yet whimsical gold, platinum
and silver pieces for more than 50 years.
Cape Cod is a hub for the arts, and you can visit painter
and printmaker Timothy Jon Struna’s Struna Galleries
studio (3873 Route 6A) in Brewster to enjoy his collection
of sea-inspired work. Voila! Designs by Frederique
(169 Route 6A) in Yarmouth Port features the work of
Frederique Poulain, who creates hand painted ceramics,
clothing and housewares. Just Picked Gifts, just off 6A
(13 Willow Street Street) in Yarmouth Port, is a great stop
for souvenirs.
