Wareham
Wareham is at the head of Buzzards Bay and has 54
miles of coastline, two major river systems, and dozens of
protected coves and bays. Locals can enjoy the shoreline
at one of many beaches that include Briarwood Beach,
Swifts Beach, Little Harbor Beach, Shell Point Beach, and
Point Independence Beach. Also on the coast is the village
of Onset, which has been a popular destination for over a
century, and throughout the summer the area is busy with
outdoor concerts and events. Boaters are attracted to the
town because it has a variety of full-service marinas. There
are also two boatbuilders in town: Cape Cod Shipbuilding
and Beetle Cat Boat Shop, which has been building cat
boats since 1921.
With a number of coves and rivers, Wareham is an ideal place
for paddlers. Nemasket Kayak Center conducts a variety of
tours along the various rivers, through Onset at sunset, and
also along ponds and streams during the fall when changing
leaves turn the landscape into a kaleidoscope of colors.
