The West Yarmouth center is around 1 mile east of Cape Cod Hospital and 2 miles east of Barnstable Municipal Boardman Polando Field Airport.
With four distinct seasons and different types of weather in each season, deciding on the best time to visit West Yarmouth depends on what you want to do while you're there.
If enjoying some time at the beach is a top priority for you, you'll want to plan to visit the area in the summer. Average high temperatures from June to August are in the mid- to upper 70s Fahrenheit. Of course, with pleasant temperatures and warm ocean waters, it's easy to see why summer is the most popular time to visit. If you decide to visit during this season, be prepared to pay high hotel rates and be surrounded by plenty of other visitors.
Fall is a delightful shoulder season to experience West Yarmouth. If you plan to visit in September, you'll enjoy average highs in the low 70s, water that's usually still warm enough for swimming, and hotel rates that dropped after summer visitors left. Although average highs in October and November in the low 60s and 50s mean it's too cold to go swimming, you can usually enjoy many of the other attractions in the area without having to deal with crowds as well.
With average highs from December to February in the upper 30s and low 40s and an average of 16 inches of snow during the season, winter in West Yarmouth isn't for everyone. However, if you're looking for a really great hotel deal, this is the time to arrive. Just keep in mind that many major attractions will either shorten their hours or completely shut down during winter, so you'll want to call ahead to make sure your must-see attractions are actually open.
If you're looking to avoid the crowds, get a good hotel deal, and have an opportunity to check out the outdoor attractions, consider visiting West Yarmouth in the spring. Spring does take some time to arrive in the area. March starts out with average highs in the mid-40s, and April has average highs in the mid-50s. However, by May, you can experience highs in the low 60s. You'll also have a chance to take advantage of low hotel prices leftover from winter before they increase just in time for the first summer visitors who arrive at the end of May.

If you want to learn more about pirate folklore in the area, make plans to check out the Whydah Pirate Museum. In 1717, pirate "Black Sam" Bellamy wrecked his ship, the Whydah, in a storm off the coast of Wellfleet. Hundreds of years later, underwater explorer Barry Clifford discovered the wreck. Now you can visit the Whydah Pirate Museum to view real pirate treasure, jewelry, weapons, clothing, and other interactive exhibits.
