Those who are looking for a quieter seaside lifestyle while still having convenient access to Boston and other Cape towns will find it in the village of Sagamore Beach. Located north of the Cape Cod Canal in the town of Bourne, this area has six miles of sandy shoreline that are hardly ever crowded. Charming homes are located throughout restful neighborhoods. Many come with sizeable lots and are minutes from the coast. In Sagamore Highlands, residents can find Victorian-style homes on the cliffs overlooking Cape Cod Bay. Some of the homes were built by the Christian Endeavor Society at the turn of the twentieth century. Sagamore Beach
The Sagamore Beach Colony Club connects neighbors and organizes events throughout the year, such as a Fourth of July parade and golf tournament, as well as dances and reading circles. In the summer, the club hosts a day camp for the children and grandchildren of members—it has been in operation for over 100 years. While dining options are limited within the village, great shopping and restaurants are a quick ride north to Plymouth’s Cedarville or over the bridge to Bourne, Sandwich, and Falmouth.
Sagamore Beach is Bourne’s only northern beach. Beachgoers have scenic views of Cape Cod Bay from its sandy shoreline.
“While many of the houses of Sagamore Beach have weathered more than one hundred years, so also have the traditions of family and neighborhood support,” writes the Sagamore Beach Club. The club’s facilities include an assembly hall, tennis courts, and a pavilion, and committee members put together a number of events throughout the year.
