3 Welcome from the Brewster Chamber of Commerce! This year s Best of Brewster magazine is dedicated to a favorite natural resource: our beaches! Do you remember the excitement you felt as you got ready for the first beach-trip of the summer? Tom Stringe s cover art titled Almost There conjures up those memories. Gathering up the towels and toys; packing the cooler with a day s supply of sandwiches; stuffing everything into the station wagon; and then finally heading down the road. Can you hear your Dad saying it? We re almost there! Brewster is bordered on the north by Cape Cod Bay and our saltwater beaches are one of the most popular destinations in town. Each public beach is named for the road that leads to it, making them easy to find. And twice a day (almost) the Brewster Flats beckon young and old to explore the tidal pools and mudflats that are exposed as Cape Cod Bay recedes. Then there are the fresh water beaches at Brewster s ponds. Here you can swim, canoe or kayak, go fishing from the shore or boat, or just relax under the canopy of trees surrounding their shores. And when you ve had enough of the beaches for the day, Brewster has much more to offer. In these pages, you ll find information about attractions, shopping, food, services, lodging and real estate, as well as general information about the Town of Brewster. Whether you re here for the day, the week or year-round, we know you ll find the Best of Brewster! the best of BREWSTER 2012 Table of Contents Entertainment... 3 Brewster Chamber of Commerce Leader s Circle Calendar of Events Shopping... 9 Beach Information...11 Food...12 Shellfishing & Fishing...14 Map of Brewster Business Directory Services Lodging Tide Chart: June September Real Estate Town of Brewster Basics Important Phone Numbers List of Advertisers Brewster Baseball...

Stony Brook Grist Mill & Museum Herring Run The Grist Mill, beside Stony Brook, is a quiet reminder that this location was a busy 19th Century industrial area. The Factory Village produced goods such as shoes, furniture and fabric. The present Grist Mill was built in 1873 on the foundation of an old fulling and woolen mill. Water flowing over the water wheel creates power to grind corn between giant millstones. The town bought the mill and surrounding area in After recent years of refurbishment the museum is open and the mill is grinding corn again. Open Sat 10am-2pm, late June-August. Brewster s harbinger of spring is the news that The herring are running! From mid- April through early May, hordes of herring migrate up Stony Brook from the salt water of Cape Cod Bay to spawn in the pond waters of West Brewster. The Herring Run s paths are a great place to observe the alewives awe inspiring journey up the fish ladders. The Run is considered a Cape Cod classic. There is picnic table at the site.
