Hidden Village
Quick Facts
Why Eastham & the Cape Cod National Seashore
Eastham serves as the gateway to Cape Cod National Seashore, with roughly 11% of the town falling within the park’s 43,000-plus protected acres. The town sits on the Outer Cape between the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Cod Bay, home to Nauset Light Beach and Coast Guard Beach — considered among the finest beaches in America — plus the Cape’s oldest working windmill, built in 1680.
Hidden Village leans into a genuinely retro, mid-century cottage aesthetic, with wood-burning stoves and real seclusion despite sitting close to both bay and ocean beaches.
