Onset Bay
Onset Bay is a gorgeous anchorage tucked into Buzzards Bay, where you can drop the hook and soak in views of elegant New England cottages lining the shore. The setting is quintessential Cape Cod — sandy white beaches, calm waters, and that laid-back Massachusetts coastal charm that makes it hard to leave. It's part of Bourne's extensive 66-mile coastline, so there's plenty of scenic shoreline to take in from the water.
