SC/SH - Things To Do

Things to Do In Bordering Towns of 
 Plymouth/South Shore and Wareham/Onset/South Coast

Beaches: Plymouth's picturesque rocky coastline also has room for two wonderful public beaches: White Horse Beach and Plymouth Beach. Myles Standish State Forest offers fresh-water swimming opportunities. Wareham has beaches
on Buzzards Bay. Swifts Beach and Onset Beach are 
public.

Boating/Kayaking/Canoeing: In Plymouth, Myles Standish
State Forest is a welcoming place for kayakers and
canoeists looking for a fresh water setting. Contact
the harbormaster in Plymouth for specifics on town boat
launches. Wareham has a town pier from which to put in
your canoe or kayak. Don't forget the town's rivers,
estuaries and ponds. For information on where to launch
motorized craft, contact Wareham's harbormaster.

Fishing: Fishing opportunities are to be found in
campgrounds in Plymouth and Wareham. For saltwater
enthusiasts, fish from Plymouth's coastline or go out on
a charter from Plymouth Harbor. Wareham has rivers and
estuaries as well as its coastline along Buzzards Bay.

Camping: Plymouth has several private campgrounds in
addition to its state forest. Wareham's sole campground
has all the amenities.

Hiking/Walking: Plymouth has conservation areas such as
Ellisville Harbor State Park. Myles Standish State
Forest has miles of walking trails. Wareham is still
fairly rural and so offers some nice areas to stroll
along beaches and streets off the main drag where you can
find quaint summer cottages and Victorian architecture.

Biking: Try the miles of bike trails in Myles Standish
State Forest. Wareham has no designated bike paths,
however streets leading to beaches are good places to
take a leisurely ride.

Golf: Plymouth has nine public courses and Wareham has
three.

Guided Tours: Visit Plimouth Plantation for total immersion into the past. Several historic places offer guided tours. Take a whale watching cruise out
of Plymouth Harbor. Canal Cruises leave from Wareham for an interesting tour of the Cape Cod Canal.

Transportation: A car is perhaps the easiest mode of transportation in both Plymouth and Wareham. Of the two, Plymouth has more options: a shuttle bus service, commuter rail station and a bus stop.
