Neighborhoods

Englewood is nestled between the bustling restaurants and businesses on Route 28 and the tranquility of Lewis Bay. We’re close enough to Hyannis to hear the foghorns of the ferries heading to Nantucket and to watch the fireworks over the bay, but far enough away to get a peaceful night's sleep, safely stroll through the neighborhood on streets next to marshes and beaches. Throughout Englewood, there are roaming flocks of turkeys, bunnies bouncing at dusk, and dozens and dozens of types of birds. In the bay, there is plenty of fishing, in 2020 clamming on Sundays, and of course, beach fun, and amazing Cape Cod sunsets.

Beaches and Nature

The Englewood neighborhood of West Yarmouth Massachusetts has some of Cape Cod's nicest beaches. Here are a few of the known, and not-so-known hidden treasures.
Walkable from the house, this beach has a parking lot, a swing set for the kiddos, a portapotty, and a pier that makes for very smooth water. It is also a Town Way to Water with a boat ramp where you can launch or watch others launch their boats and kayaks for a day in the bay.

This tiny, end of the road beach is nestled between two waterfront houses just steps from the house. It’s great if you want quiet time, or just to take a quick dip.

This is Yarmouth’s largest beach on Lewis Bay. It is next to Mill Creek, and has a great marsh behind it. There is a small parking lot, but it is also a great walk from our house. You can enter at the small public beach on Hedge Row (next to the private Wimbledon Shores beach). From there walk west in front of a few super rich people’s houses and you will arrive!

Seagull beach is the biggest and most feature rich beach in the neighborhood. It’s about 2 miles from the house, including the 1/2 mile road in. It has a large paid parking lot, a snack bar, bathrooms, showers, lifeguards, dunes, a jetty next to Parker’s River, and a huge marsh behind it called Lewis Pond.

South Yarmouth's biggest beach. This Nantucket sound beach, much like Seagull Beach, has a huge parking lot, a snack bar, facilities, and an opportunity to walk for miles along the shore. It rests against Bass River to the east, which separates it from West Dennis Beach.

A small but fun beach in South Yarmouth that has a swingest, a small parking lot, and a gorgeous view of the water. Great to spend a little time here in the summer while eating ice cream from, or waiting for your table at Skipper's Chowder House.

To the left of Grey's Beach in Yarmouthport, this town boardwalk juts out over the great marsh on Cape Cod Bay. You can see fish and crabbies in the rivers and streams that cut through the marsh, and enjoy awesome views of Cape Cod Bay. Especially impressive at Sunset.

Food scene

Keltic Kitchen has been a main stay in the neighborhood for decades. The portions are huge, the staff is always friendly and amazing, and it is super Irish and super fun. In the summer, and most offseason weekends, there will be a line at peak breakfast times, especially if you are in a group. We’ve found that the wait times they tell you are pretty accurate though. There is also a cute Irish goods store behind it where you can buy anything from an authentic Irish sweater down to a crackle chocolate bar.

Ann & Fran's has been a neighborhood institution since I was a kid also, and the latest team fronted by chef Tyler Duarte has upped the food game in the last decade they have owned it. The staff is always super friendly and attentive, and the food is amazing! They have everything from lobster benedict, avacado toast, homemade pastries, biscuits, and jelly to your standard farmhouse breakfasts! Don't forget to get a fresh squeezed orange juice! It is a tiny place, so large groups will have to wait a long time, but if you are a single or couple, they also have a counter so wait times during the busiest weekends aren't so bad.

This tiny little bagel shop is right up the street and has a huge parking lot, and of course, BAGELS! By the dozen, with cream cheese, or cooked up with eggs and meats, they have it all. They have tables and chairs, but it is kind of bacon smokey in there since the grill is in the same room. To us it's a great place to send your fearless leader or shortest straw to get a bunch of stuff for your clan, and bring it home or to the beach.

Yarmouth House is a huge but cozy super club that is open year round and always packed! Try to sit by the mill wheel in front for a romantic dinner, but they can also host bigger groups in the middle and back. The food is great, and there is some thing for everyone. The family who owns it also owns and operates DiParma Italian Table and Red Faced Jack's Sports Bar in West Yarmouth.

The Lobster Boat is a super fun family friendly restaurant on the edge of Parker's River. They have great seafood in a fun nautical atmosphere and an awesome staff. They have a lot of parking, and usually have tables. To us it's a great first option, but it is also a good second option if the wait at Captain Parker's across the street is too long.

The sweet treat creations at Englewood Baking Company are amazing. Pull apart biscuits, cupcakes, coffee cakes, and all the sweet things in addition to some of the most delicious breads and out-of-this-world croissants. BetC and her mom and sister are so sweet and have lived in the Englewood neighborhood for generations. This counter only spot with a decent parking lot off route 28 is great for picking up and bringing back to the house or beach.

The Pirate's Cove mini golf (or put put if you've been here before) is just over Parker's River but I have to include it here because it is a must visit. It was the first gigantic one that opened down here, and is considered one of the best on the cape. There are two courses you can play, and a huge parking lot.
