Drop in at the nature center
Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary will host its Sea Turtle Open House on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. The indoor event introduces Cape Cod’s stranded-turtle rescue work through exhibits, touch tables and activities.
The program listing gives free admission for members and prices of $8 for nonmember adults and $3 for nonmember children. Visitors may drop in during event hours.
Tours and beach patrols are separate
The sanctuary is at 291 State Highway Route 6 in South Wellfleet. Its event announcement lists a noon presentation by Eamon Caffrey and a 1 p.m. presentation by Karen Dourdeville.
Lab tours and guided beach patrols require separate registration and an additional fee; their spaces are limited. Beach patrols take place away from the sanctuary, with participants responsible for their own transportation.
Most open-house activities are inside the accessible Nature Center. For accommodation questions or borrowed mobility equipment, contact the sanctuary at 508-349-2615. The event page provides detailed parking, restroom and activity-access information.
