Overview
Great Pond is one of Wellfleet's chain of Outer Cape kettle ponds inside the Cape Cod National Seashore boundary.

Clear kettle water, sandy-bottom shoreline near the small landing; no lifeguards on duty on the pond landings. Expect locals-first crowds on warm weekends and thin parking at the landing.

Getting there
From Route 6 in Wellfleet, follow the kettle-pond chain roads west toward Great Pond. Park in the small Wellfleet town landing lot; a Wellfleet beach sticker is required in summer, enforced by the town. Walk a short sand path from the lot down to the landing — locals-first and limited parking on hot weekends.
