Our favorite beach! 200 yards away, and at the end of our street! Lifeguards on duty until 4pm. Note there is a flight of approximately 20 stairs from the parking lot to the beach, so if you have any mobility issues, it might not be the best fit for you.

Full service supermarket
We recommend the Star Market in Harwich for general grocery shopping. Its less than a 10 minute drive from our house and usually a lot less busy than the Stop & Shop in Patriot Square. You can also order your groceries online in advance and have them brought out to your car.
