Other things to note
One of the best things about our location is NO BRIDGES to cross! Mattapoisett and its sister town — Marion — will remind you of the way Cape Cod used to be. With just a few traffic lights and no rush-hour traffic, you can RELAX.

GETTING TO THE BEACH: The closest beach is straight down Island Street. That’s the boat launch area and a nice place to park a beach chair or to launch a kayak. The main swimming beach is back along Angelica. Walk down Beach Street, Union Avenue or Silvershell. The Crescent Beach Association puts in swim lines and a swim dock. There are no lifeguards — please swim at your own risk. Never leave children unattended at the beach, and always swim with a buddy. We also have a beach pass for the town beaches.

When you’re feeling energetic, there’s a ton of fun things to do: Here's a short list:
- Go beach combing and swimming in the warm waters of Crescent Beach. There's a huge float you can swim to;
- Play golf or take the kids to play miniature golf nearby;
- If you’d like to visit the kid-friendly town beach, we have a pass for you to use. You can also visit Aucoot and other town beaches;
- Visit the exciting WaterWizz water park in East Wareham;
- Take a hike! Our beach house is surrounded by conservation land, and there are two trailheads nearby. You can find lots of other trails nearby, too.
- Walk or bike the new path at Shining Tides Beach, which crosses a scenic salt marsh on Eel Pond.
- Go cycling on the bike path to Fairhaven; there are beautiful bike paths along the Cape Cod Canal and in Falmouth, too.
