"The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod" by Henry Beston is a book published in 1928. It chronicles Beston's year spent living alone in a small cottage on the dunes of Cape Cod, observing the natural world around him.

His meditations on nature and animals became a literary landmark that influenced the creation of Cape Cod National Seashore.
