Wellfleet Drive-In

Cape Cod


By night, park your car at the 1950s-era Wellfleet Drive-In, where everything except the feature flick is true to the era. Grab a bite to eat at the old-fashioned snack bar, hook the mono speaker over the car window (or tune your car's stereo to the dedicated frequency) and settle in for a double feature. Cash only.
