WELCOME FROM THE CHAMBERS

Left to right: Lois André, Executive Director of the Dennis Chamber of Commerce, Mary Vilbon, President & CEO of the Yarmouth Chamber of Commerce, and Marty Bruemmel, President & CEO of the Greater Hyannis Chamber of Commerce.

Hello and Welcome from Dennis, Yarmouth, and Barnstable!

WE ARE SO HAPPY YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO COME AND ENJOY EVERYTHING THE MIDCAPE OFFERS —

from championship golf to world-class entertainment, stunning shorelines, fascinating history, boundless outdoor adventures, outstanding shopping, and delicious dining. Our three towns and their villages always have something to interest and engage everyone who lives or travels here.

Whether you are a year-round resident, seasonal homeowner, returning visitor, or first-timer to the MidCape, you might notice our three towns are embarking on comprehensive wastewater projects to support a thriving ecosystem, protect nature, and provide the best water services (and recreation and hospitality) for everyone,

6

our residents and guests. This vital work is extensive, with principal project activity being paused for the busy summer months.

Your support of the shops, eateries, services, and activities in Dennis, Yarmouth and Barnstable not only will provide you with fun, excitement, relaxation, and treasured memories today, but it is also an essential part of creating a better future for the MidCape for everyone.

We really do have it all right here! So, please stop by our visitor centers, where we cheerfully welcome both residents and guests, and see what’s new for 2025.

MIDCAPE MAGA ZINE 2025

Warmly,

Lois, Mary and Marty

Sugar Rush

If you’re looking for authentic Cape Cod taffy, stop at Kandy Korner, one of only three candy stores on the Cape that make their taffy in house. Not only do you get to try out a variety of taffy flavors, but you’ll also get to see them cook, pull, and wrap the taffy. This tasty trip and treat has become a tradition for generations. “We’ve been here since 1968, and we’re part of the community and part of these people’s childhoods and vacations,” says owner Paulo Paraguay. 474 Main St., Hyannis, kandykorner.com

There are dozens of local businesses on the MidCape where you can indulge your sweet tooth. Here is a roundup of some of the best in Yarmouth, Barnstable, and Dennis.

BY K ELLIE INNE S

Snack on a sweet and practice your putt at the family-run Steve and Sue’s Par-tee Freeze. When Steve and Sue Fardele met at a chocolate store as teenagers, it was only fate that they would go on to open the ice cream stand and mini golf course together in 1977. Now, generations of the family still working at the business blend old-fashioned picks like hot fudge sundaes with specialty treats such as Pina Colada ice cream or a series of blended flurry flavors. 455 West Main St., Hyannis, parteefreeze.com

MIDCAPE MAGA ZINE 2025

Barnstable

Dennis Nothing says Cape Cod like a fudge and candy store located in a historic house. The locally owned and operated Stage Stop Candy has thrived for 40 years based on its principles of tradition, family legacy, and commitment to sweeten their customers’ days. Sweetness is the name of the game when it comes to the made-in-house confections, such as chocolate fudge, sea-salt caramels, and chocolates shaped in sea-themed molds of shells, lighthouses, and more. 411 Main St., Dennis Port, stagestopcandy.com

While Captain Baker Donut Shop is relatively new on the Cape Cod scene—it opened in August of 2020—it’s become an instant classic. The historic landmark attracts tourists for photo opportunities, and the smell of breakfast keeps them walking through the doors. Though their donut flavors rotate depending on the day, one beloved and recurring flavor is the Birthday Cake Donut, featuring vanilla glaze, rainbow sprinkles, and strawberry drizzle on an old-fashioned donut. “We get a lot of donut lovers from around the world,” shares owner Lauren Rengucci.

Each small batch made in-house is bursting with flavor due to the finest and freshest ingredients—the pistachio ice cream even has real pistachios in the mix. 381 Lower County Rd., Dennis Port, sundaeschool.com

SUGAR RUSH Almost anyone can feel a sense of nostalgia when they hear the bells and music of an ice cream truck coming down the street.

Cape Cones capitalizes on this feeling by serving all the novelty hits that kids (and adults) know and love. Cape Cones is also recognizable beyond its traditional jingle. Matilda, as owner Brien Hines lovingly calls the truck, is painted a bright aquamarine color, calling to mind both the nearby ocean and mint ice cream.

“I am creating smiles, one customer at a time,” Hines says. capeconesllc@gmail.com

While Kream ‘N Kone might be known for its award-winning fried clams, seafood platters, and fresh lobster rolls, it started as a small ice cream stand. You can still taste the iconic soft serve in the traditional vanilla, chocolate, or a swirl, or explore 24 additional unique flavors. For those dining in, you’ll get a chance to see a view of the Swan River and a Cape Cod landmark: the iconic Kream ‘N Kone sign that reminds customers of a nostalgic time of driveup diners and stands. 961 Main St., West Dennis, kreamnkone.com

American woodcock, American kestrel, Meadowlark, savannah and grasshopper sparrows. “You might spot these species at the Marston Mills Airport, Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary, and Fuller Farm,” says Ives.

Summer woodland birds such as the eastern towhee, ovenbird, scarlet and summer tanager, eastern wood peewee, hermit thrush, cooper’s hawk, great horned owl, and eastern screech owl tend to like places like West Barnstable Conservation Area and the Barnstable Great Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary.

“It is easy to go to your nearest pond, walk out three feet with your binoculars, and see seven or eight different species of birds,” says Ives. Some freshwater fowl you can see in winter are Northern pintail, wood duck, ring-necked duck, and hooded merganser, while, in spring and summer, you might observe belted kingfishers, Canada

hen living on or visiting the MidCape, we are always close to wild animals— even though we may not realize it.

“It’s amazing what’s out there,” says Ian Ives, the Sanctuary Director at Mass Audubon Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary in Barnstable. “We have set up cameras at our sanctuary, and we always see an astounding amount of wildlife movement. Even in close proximity to our Nature Center buildings, we have seen nine different mammals within 100 feet of our discovery center.”

Ives explains that subsets of animals live within the various habitats that are prevalent here.

“For example, there’s a lot of open grassland habitat that people can explore, and there’s a very specific subset of birds in that type of habitat in the spring and summer,” says Ives.

Spring/summer field birds include

DENNIS • Crowes Pasture Beach • Princess Beach • Shoop Garden

The Dennis Department of Natural Resources is available to help with emergencies regarding wild animals.

We resume work in the fall, building a cleaner, more vibrant Yarmouth for all.

geese, mute swans (which are not native), common yellowthroat, and red-winged blackbirds.

Most of us will, at some point, spot chipmunks, squirrels, and at night, raccoons and opossums in and around our neighborhoods, but Ives also describes the lesser-known but still prominent mammals we share the MidCape with throughout the year: coyote, mink, short-tailed weasel, otter, and the very rare, secretive fisher.

These animals frequent Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary, Skunknett River Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Bridge Creek Conservation Area.

No guide to animals on Cape Cod would be complete without our beloved sea mammals and shore birds. Summer beach birds include piping plovers, sandpipers, American oystercatchers, Northern harriers, osprey, least tern, and common tern. On the MidCape, these can be seen at Sandy Neck Barrier Beach, Grays Beach, Crowes Pasture, Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary, and Sampsons Dead Neck Island. On these beaches in the winter, you might spot Scoters, Eiders,

bufflehead, mergansers, red throated loons, common loons, snowy owls, or even a bald eagle.

“Prominent iconic sea creatures here in the summer are seals, sea turtles, and the humpback whale,” adds Ives, “Oysters, horseshoe crabs, moon snails, fiddler crabs, quahogs, and spider crabs make their home on Cape Cod’s tidal flats.”

Keeping safety and the environment in mind is always essential, regardless of where you are looking and what you discover. “Tread lightly to enjoy the natural world,” says Ives. “Take pictures but keep a respectful distance and honor that they’re the wild creatures and we’re visiting.” He reminds people to leave no trace, stay on designated trails, keep dogs on leash, and make little noise. “If the wild animal “flushes” out upon your presence, you have gotten too close.”

Ives notes that wild animals are all around us, but we never look up. “There’s a lot more out there than people might think, so if you dive in a little deeper, you’d be surprised what you see.”

Cape Cod’s beautiful natural world has long captivated and inspired artists, from painters to poets to photographers, such as Yarmouth resident Betty Wiley, whose evocative images grace these pages.

IFAW’s marine mammal rescue program has rapid and effective response techniques that have increased the survival rate of these stranded animals. IFAW’s new Dolphin Rescue Center on Cape Cod is a firstof-its-kind rehabilitation facility that provides shortterm intensive care designed to improve post-release survival for stranded small cetaceans (dolphins and porpoises) suffering from acute conditions.

KEN GRIFFITHS

Headquartered in Yarmouth, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) rescues and protects animals worldwide. With projects in more than 40 countries, IFAW rescues individual animals, works to prevent animal cruelty, and advocates for protecting wildlife and habitats.

Here on Cape Cod, the organization’s animal experts see more instances of live mass strandings of dolphins than are seen anywhere else in the world.

Gerry’s wife, Marian, and daughter, Catherine Kasser, maintain the tradition of bringing family members to join the staff for summer jobs or career positions. The eatery has earned the eatery a stellar chowder reputation by taking home 18 first-place trophies from the Cape Cod Chowder Festival, Newport Chowder Cook-Off, and Boston Chowder Festival, and making multiple appearances on the Food Network and was even featured on an episode of Jeopardy! Family-owned and family-focused, Captain Parker’s Pub embodies congeniality, and guests appreciate meeting the friendly staff who warmly greet them at every visit and seeing familiar faces among the patrons. captainparkers.com

The Nickinello family Skull Island Adventure Golf & Sports World

SKULL ISLAND ADVENTURE GOLF & SPORTS WORLD - Skull Island Adventure Golf and Sports World has welcomed Cape visitors and residents since 1960, when Lou Nickinello and his father first bought ten acres of land in South Yarmouth to open a miniature golf course with a driving range and batting cages. This popular, community-focused adventure park has developed and expanded through four generations of management by the Nickinello family. Lou attributes this longevity to everyone being truly committed to the business and working together as a team. Featuring an arcade, go-kart course, and a reinvigorated, themed mini-golf course, the complex is currently run

by Nickinello’s son, Jeffery, and his grandson, JJ. Lou, who feels blessed to work alongside so many members of his family, says that everyone at Skull Island is incredibly pleased to be part of the fabric of the community. skullislandcapecod.com
