Where to Shop at the Far End of the Off-Season

The Independent’s March guide to more than the bare necessities

By

You don’t need a TikTok influencer to tell you that it’s very now to push back against the forces of a consumerist culture that follows you online wherever you go. No, you always wanted to shop local. But how to do that at the tip of Cape Cod in the middle of March may not seem obvious.

We’ve done a little research and found hammers, birthday cards, antique vases, corkscrews, rubber boots, diamond rings, and worry stones — what else could you want? True, some of these shops are open weekends only, and hours are a little wobbly. Shop the old-fashioned way and call ahead.
