Salt Pond Visitor Center plays the seashore's award-winning orientation movie, Standing Bold, throughout the day, and other films show on rotation. Films have open captions and assistive listening.

Evening programs are routinely held at the outdoor amphitheater or indoor auditorium during the summer. Nearby are the popular 1.5 mile Nauset Marsh Trail, the Nauset Bicycle Trail, and the Buttonbush Trail, a .25 mile multi-sensory trail that features a guide rope and text panels printed in large lettering and Braille, as well as discovery activities for children. In the visitor center lobby, a large map shows Cape Cod's glacial history, its position in the Gulf of Maine, and natural forces that continue to shape it. There are expansive views of the Salt Pond and Nauset Marsh from the lobby. The visitor center museum emphasizes the cultural themes represented on Cape Cod, including the First People--the Wampanoag; European settlement culture; fishing, life-saving, and lighthouses; communication technology; and tourism. Very complete and educational....Just pleasant and very nicely laid out.

They don't have an actual map for it, I printed one I found online because I didn't want to do a guided tours, I wanted to hit all the spots. Nice customer service, a friendly crew working here. They sell a nice souvenir selection, OK prices, I snagged a few, a lobster Christmas ornament for myself because... Great place to shop for souvenirs, you won't find many shops in town.

A steady stream of international visitors came into the small building that was outfitted with all kinds of printed info. As the gateway to Cape Cod, Plymouth is a popular stop for many.

The church is a stately white with the tallest steeple in town. Easy to see.

There are fun little exhibits to check out as well as a small cute playground. You can also hike along the beach and tidal pools during low tide with beauty views of Sandy Neck beach across the harbor. You could do a beach day here as well as there are small Sandy areas for chairs but it's more of a salt water marsh experience than an ocean beach. There is a small fee per person. Plenty of parking by the visitor center and a small lot by the beach entrance. Definitely worth checking out with the kids!
