For someone searching for a Cape Cod seasonal retreat, this $699,000 Wellfleet condo flanked by Wellfleet Harbor and Duck Creek is like something out of a fairy tale. It s part of what they call the Lemon Pie Cottages and it s a rare find because they don t come up for sale very often, said Pamela McNulty, a real estate agent from Cape Cod Oceanview Realty in Wellfleet.
The last time one of the 16 waterfront cottages in the Wellfleet Harbor Condominiums Association development sold was in 2014.
The cottages originally had steep peaked roofs and were painted yellow, leading someone observing them from the water to note that they looked like slices of lemon pie, according to an account from the Wellfleet Historical Society. The nickname stuck, even after the cottages were rebuilt with a lower profile that gave them more stability in storms. The historical society has photos of the originals at its website: http://www.wellfleethistoricalsociety.org/.

8 Wellfleet restaurants to recycle oyster shells
WELLFLEET A novel recycling program intends to return oyster shells to the ocean after the bivalves have been eaten, according to a release from the Massachusetts Oyster Project.
The project is working with the town of Wellfleet on an oyster shell recycling program involving eight local restaurants.
Restaurants will divert oyster shells from their regular trash to special containers. Project staff and volunteers will collect those containers four times a week, dumping them in a special oyster shell collection site managed by the town’s shellfish department and transfer station, the release said.
The shells will be aged for a year before they are spread around Wellfleet Harbor to create juvenile oyster habitat. By depositing oyster shells in intertidal areas of Wellfleet Harbor, a favorable environment can be created for oysters to settle and grow, the release said.
