Yarmouth, however you want it

Welcome to Yarmouth, Massachusetts, a town that takes its name from the English town of Great Yarmouth and is steeped in rich history. Yarmouth was once part of the Plymouth Colony, an English colony established for religious reasons, and the landing site of the famed Mayflower voyage. The town is also known for its peaceful early dealings with the native Wampanoag tribe, which spawned the traditional Thanksgiving holiday celebrated to this day. Yarmouth's history is reflected in its architecture, with many buildings on the National Historic Registry, including former homes of Yarmouth ship captains. Travel along Old King's Highway through Yarmouth Port for a taste of the town's early centuries. Despite its rich history, Yarmouth has found a way to coexist with the modern world. The town boasts gorgeous beaches and forests for hiking, as well as a plethora of shops, restaurants, and attractions to explore. Yarmouth is only half an hour from Plymouth, the landing site of the Pilgrims, and 75 miles from Boston, the state's capital and largest city. Come and experience the beauty of Yarmouth's landscape, from the Cape Cod Bay to the North and Nantucket Sound to the South, without sacrificing modern comforts.
