Barnstable

Barnstable harbor is an inter-tidal estuary on the north side of Cape Cod. The body of water is bordered by a barrier beach to the north called Sandy Neck and the town of Barnstable proper to the south. Cape Cod Oyster Company has a total of 19 acres of oyster leases in this body or water. Due to the large tides of Cape Cod Bay, we employ a rack and bag system. Each day our oysters are fully exposed during low tide resulting in less fouling from marine life.

Located between the finger of Seapit Peninsula in East Falmouth, Cape Cod and the pine-shaded bluffs of Washburn Island, which is part of a state park in Waquoit Bay, our 22.8-acre oyster farm is ideally suited for aquaculture.

Fed by nutrient-laden, fresh water from the Moonakis and Little Rivers and the salt water tides from Vineyard Sound, Seapit River creates the perfect chemistry for growing succulent, hearty oysters.
