Go Seal Watching and Explore Nantucket Sound

On the other side of the peninsula awaits an exciting coastal adventure! Monomoy Island Excursions is a family-owned business that leads visitors and locals out to the barrier island of Monomoy to go seal-watching.

This wildlife refuge has become a home for thousands of harbor and gray seals over time, making each and every visit a thrilling treat. But the fun doesn’t end with the seals. On the voyage, you’ll visit Wychmere Harbor—one of the most scenic harbors on the Cape—and the Stage Harbor to get a close look at the beautiful Stage Harbor and Chatham lighthouses. On these tours, you get so much more than just animal-watching, but a real experience of the magic of sea life on Nantucket Sound. Monomoy Island Excursions runs cruises several times each day, each tour lasting an hour and a half, with a wildlife expert on board to answer all of your questions. You’ll definitely want to make time for this family-friendly afternoon adventure.
