Welcome from the Brewster Chamber of Commerce!
Brewster is known as Cape Cod's "Sea Captain's Town" and the vibrant business community reflects the entrepreneurial spirit of our seafaring forefathers.
In the late 1600's business in Brewster grew to meet the needs of the sea captains and their families. The grist mill was at the center of commerce. A fulling mill, where wool fabric was pre-shrunk, a carding mill, and shops offering dry goods, provided local jobs and a place to sell goods brought in by ship.

Sea captains' homes are now elegant inns and gourmet restaurants; fine art and antiques galleries; specialty gift shops; and professional offices, museums and theatres.
And with over 3,000 acres of conservation lands; 15 fresh-water ponds; the Cape Cod Rail Trail; and 7 public beaches along Cape Cod Bay there is recreation of all kinds to please everyone.
We invite you to Explore Brewster! Discover the charm of our community and why it became Cape Cod's Sea Captains favorite town.
