South Yarmouth
South Yarmouth is bound by the Bass River to the east and the
waters of Nantucket Sound splash against its shores to the south.
The river, which flows into Follins Pond, is a popular spot for fishing,
swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding, and the south coast is
where residents find popular town beaches. Just as the river widens
and empties into the sound is where Bass River (Smuggler’s) Beach
is located. Follow the coast west and you’ll hit Thatcher Beach,
Seaview Beach, and Parker’s River Beach.
There are three golf courses in
Yarmouth and two are in South
Yarmouth: Bass River Golf Course
and Blue Rock Golf Course. There are
also many popular mini golf courses.
On Thursdays and Saturdays, the Bass River Farmers’ Market takes
place across the street from the South Yarmouth Public Library, and
you can find an assortment of produce, baked goods, and crafts.
The Cultural Center of Cape Cod is also located in South Yarmouth.
The active nonprofit offers a wide range of events, exhibits, and
educational programs with a mission to make the arts accessible to
the Cape Cod community.
Homes in South Yarmouth range from luxury waterfront to more
affordable Capes. Along Parker River, larger homes have docks and
bridgeless access to the open waters of Nantucket Sound. Between
the coast and Route 28 are tight-knit neighborhoods that are home
to a number of adorable capes that are less than a mile away from
the ocean.
The Judah Baker Windmill is in South Yarmouth. The structure
was built in 1791 in North Dennis before it was moved to where it
is today overlooking the Bass River.
