Cataumet
This tiny village of about 800 residents sits along Buzzards Bay between North Falmouth and Pocasset. Quiet and peaceful, yet just 20 minutes from Falmouth’s busy center, Cataumet was once a hub for the Old Colony Railroad. Cataumet Station opened in 1890, and although the original structure burned in 1925, the replacement brick building still stands in Post Office Square. The restored 1894 Cataumet Schoolhouse now hosts educational, cultural, and recreational events. Local amenities include the century-old Cataumet Club on Squeteague Harbor, offering tennis, sailing, and social events, plus a public harbor beach ideal
for calm water access and small boat launching. The Cataumet Art Center offers gallery talks, exhibitions, classes, and working studios. Parker’s Boat Yard on Red Brook Harbor has provided sailboat maintenance and storage since the 1960s. The nearby Cataumet Greenway, managed by the Bourne Conservation Trust, spans 95 acres with trails through wetlands, a cranberry bog, and scenic views at Dimmick Waterfront Vista. Homes in Cataumet range from waterfront properties on Red Brook Harbor to village-style houses and exclusive estates on Scraggy Neck.
Maintained by the Bourne Conversation Trust, the Cataumet Greenway winds through the natural landscapes of the village. Home to numerous species of wild animals and a variety of wildflowers, the Greenway meanders through conservation areas, salt marshes, and fields toward Red Brook Harbor.
