Buzzards Bay
Buying a home in Buzzards Bay means the ocean is easily accessible.
Ponds and bays define neighborhoods like Gibbs Neck, which separates
Little Buttermilk Bay from Buttermilk Bay, where locals will find waterfront
properties. Since it is protected, Little Buttermilk Bay has calm waters,
boat ramp access, and plenty of forest cover. Trace the coast to the
north side of Buttermilk Bay and you’ll find homes with private beaches,
including Hideaway Village neighborhood association.
The name Buzzards Bay came from the
first English settlers who encountered a
flock of birds that they called buzzards.
Today historians believe that the birds
were most likely osprey.
If you’re looking for that neighborhood feeling, the most densely
populated section of Buzzards Bay is near Queen Sewell Cove and
Queen Sewell Pond. The area is close to the shoreline as well as
Route 6. Main Street, which runs parallel to Route 6, has restaurants,
businesses, and a few residential properties. The southernmost point of
the village is Taylor Point, which is home to the Massachusetts Maritime
Academy.
Buzzards Bay is home to the National Marine Life Center,
a marine animal hospital, science, and education center
dedicated to rehabilitating for release stranded sea turtles,
and seals to advance scientific knowledge and education in
marine wildlife health and conservation.
