An Elevated Summer Pop‑Up Above Dune Overlooking Nantucket Sound
This summer, the rooftop above Dune becomes a special summer experience — an elevated coastal dining destination designed to be discovered, shared, and remembered. High above the shoreline where the light drifts across Nantucket Sound, Dune offers a rare vantage point and a fresh way to experience Wychmere. This seasonal pop‑up blends coastal cuisine, curated live music, and artisan gatherings into an evening shaped by connection and crafted with care. Exclusive in its setting yet welcoming in its purpose, Dune invites you to slow down, savor, and see the Cape from a new perspective.
Thoughtful Coastal Cuisine
Inspired by the flavors and rhythms of the coast, our culinary team brings a refined yet relaxed approach to summer dining. Each dish is rooted in local ingredients, seasonal inspiration, and the spirit of the shoreline. From bright, fresh seafood to warm, comforting coastal classics, every plate is designed to complement the view and the moment.
Local Culture, Elevated
Dune comes alive with the creative energy of Cape Cod.
Each week features:
- Live music from Cape artists
