There’s something magical about a day spent in Harwich Port. Tucked away on the warm southern shores of Cape Cod, our charming seaside village has become a favorite destination for those who love sandy strolls, local shops, fresh seafood, and the kind of coastal treasures you can’t find anywhere else.
At Lexaco, we’re proud to be part of this special community — creating jewelry inspired by the waves, winds, and traditions of the Cape. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or coming back for your annual summer escape, we’ve put together a local’s guide to help you plan the perfect day in Harwich Port: where to shop, what to eat, and how to find that perfect piece — maybe a classic anchor pendant or our bestselling rope chains for men and rope chains for women — to bring a bit of Cape Cod home with you.
☀️ Morning: Coffee, Coastal Views, and Browsing Main Street
Start your day the way locals do — with a slow stroll along Main Street and a coffee from one of our favorite spots. Swing by local cafés like Perks Coffee Shop & Beer Garden or Three Fins Coffee Roasters for a fresh brew and a pastry, then wander down to Bank Street Beach for a quiet morning walk.
When you’re ready, head back up to Main Street. Harwich Port is known for its boutique shops filled with treasures you won’t find at the big-box stores. From local art galleries to seaside-inspired home décor, every shop has a story — and a connection to the ocean that makes our little village so unique.
💍 Midday: Find Your Perfect Coastal Keepsake
No trip to Harwich Port is complete without stopping into Lexaco. Our bright, welcoming boutique is a haven for ocean lovers — a place where you can run your fingers over smooth sea glass, admire the shimmer of nautical pendants, and discover timeless rope chains for men and rope chains for women that fit effortlessly into any coastal style.
Many visitors come looking for something special — a keepsake to remember a family vacation, a gift for someone back home, or even a piece of jewelry to mark a milestone. Our rope chains are a popular choice: durable yet elegant, they’re a nod to the Cape’s maritime roots. A classic rope chain necklace pairs beautifully with an anchor charm for him or a dainty compass pendant for her.
Shopping with us isn’t just about picking out a piece — it’s about the story behind it. Each design is inspired by the sea, handcrafted with care, and ready to carry your own memories forward.
🍽️ Lunchtime: Fresh Seafood and Seaside Flavors
By now, you’ve worked up an appetite — and Harwich Port’s local dining scene won’t disappoint. For casual fish and chips or a classic lobster roll, head to The Port Restaurant or Brax Landing, where you can dine outside with views of boats bobbing in the harbor.
Craving something quick and local? Try a poke bowl or fresh salad from Cape Sea Grille Market. Prefer to pack a picnic? Grab some sandwiches and head to nearby Red River Beach to eat with your toes in the sand.
Wherever you choose, you’ll taste the freshness of the Cape’s local catch — a true Harwich Port experience.
🛍️ Afternoon: More Shops, Galleries, and Coastal Finds
After lunch, wander back through the village. Duck into art galleries like The Nines or cross the street to discover local boutiques selling handmade crafts, coastal décor, and beachwear.
Looking for another piece to complete your new coastal look? Many visitors pop back into Lexaco for more than just a single piece — layering our rope chains for women with delicate sea glass pendants is a summer favorite, and pairing rope chains for men with a classic fish hook charm or compass rose pendant is a timeless coastal statement.
Don’t be shy about asking our team for styling tips — we love helping you find just the right chain length, charm, or pairing that suits your story and style.
🌅 Evening: Sunset and Seaside Dining
As the day winds down, take a drive along Route 28 and soak in the golden hour views — or find a quiet beach to watch the sunset melt into the ocean.
Then, toast your day in Harwich Port with a memorable dinner. Ember Coal Fired Pizza & Wings is perfect for families or casual nights, while Cape Sea Grille offers a cozy, romantic setting with local seafood dishes worth writing home about.
If you’re still exploring after dark, stroll the harbor or catch live music at one of the village’s lively summer events. Harwich Port comes alive on warm nights — with twinkle lights, laughter, and that unmistakable salty breeze.
✨ Take a Piece of the Cape Home
Before you say goodbye to Harwich Port, stop by Lexaco one last time to pick up your coastal keepsake. Maybe you’ll choose a delicate piece of handmade sea glass jewelry, a bold nautical pendant, or one of our bestselling rope chains for men or rope chains for women.
Whatever you find, you’ll take more than jewelry home — you’ll take a piece of the Cape’s calm beauty, its maritime heritage, and the memories of a perfect day by the sea.
