South Yarmouth is bound by Bass River to the east and the waters of Nantucket Sound to the south. Bass River, which flows into Follins Pond, is a popular spot for fishing, swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Along the south coast is where residents find popular town beaches. Bass River (Smuggler’s) Beach is located where the river widens and empties into the sound. Follow the coast west and you’ll hit Thatcher Beach, Seaview Beach, and Parker’s River Beach.
