A suburban feel, but with a nice selection of nightlife, Wareham provides bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and parks for a lively yet casual lifestyle. Occasionally referred to as “The Gateway to Cape Cod”, the seaside town delights with 54 miles of shoreline on Buzzards Bay. Public beaches with gentle surf include Onset Beach, with idyllic views of wooded points, historic houses, and islands in the bay.
Cranberry bogs, fresh seafood, and kayaking along its bays, rivers, and ponds amplify the enjoyment and serenity for residents and visitors. Great Neck Wildlife Sanctuary has four miles of historic carriage roads and deer paths, many accessible thanks to the generosity of private landowners. From here you might catch sight of the resident ospreys in spring and summer. Myles Standish State Forest features 12,000+ acres of pitch pine forest and scrub oak, while local farms and golf courses are sure to please the whole family.
