    Gellar's

    Grab an ice cream or a sandwich at Gellar's. This local institution has been serving the community since the 1920s and feels like the unofficial town hall of Manomet.

    White Horse Beach

    Walk west toward White Horse Beach. Note that most of the beach is private, but there is a public section. Parking is limited and usually requires a resident sticker, so walking from local hotels or B&Bs is the best option. The beach has no restrooms or lifeguards, so plan accordingly. You will find the public access point by following White Horse Road to its end.

    White Horse Beach

    Stand at the public section of White Horse Beach and watch the sun set toward the WNW. In July, the sun sets at 20:15, casting a warm golden light over the water just before it disappears.
