Bourne
Home to both the Bourne and Sagamore Bridges, Bourne is the welcome mat to the Cape. The town of more than 20,000 residents can be attractive to those who are looking for that Cape lifestyle while avoiding the summer surge. There are nine villages: Bourne Village, Bournedale, Buzzards Bay, Cataumet, Gray Gables, Monument Beach, Pocasset, Sagamore, and Sagamore Beach. Bourne’s sinuous coastline creates a number of quiet harbors and inlets for boating, fishing, and swimming. In the summer, Buzzards Bay warms up faster than Cape Cod Bay, which is a plus for many beachgoers. Some well-known beaches include Gray Gables Beach, Hen’s Cove, Sagamore Beach, and Monument Beach. Notable eateries include the Lobster Trap, a waterside restaurant with an attached fish market, and the Chart Room, in Cataumet, which offers surf and turf and Red Brook Harbor views.
