Other things to note:
Few Buzzards Bay beaches are as well-known as Onset Beach in Wareham. This sandy town beach is a popular destination for families thanks to its protected waters, beautiful scenery, and central location in historic Onset Village. And with a kayak outfitter located right at the beach, you can launch from the sandy shore on a paddling adventure around Onset Bay.

The native translation of Onset is “place that is sandy” – and that’s still the defining feature at Onset Beach today. The wide, flat sand at this town beach is perfect for families in summer; kids can splash and play for hours in the calm waters of Onset Bay.

Paddlers will love Onset Beach, too; bring your own kayak or rent one from Nemasket Kayak Center, located right on the beach. From here, you can enjoy a scenic paddle around Wickets Island and the shores of Onset Bay.

Anglers know that Buzzards Bay offers some of the best fishing in the Northeast. Saltwater fishing is fun for all ages and easy for anybody to try. All you need is a Massachusetts recreational saltwater permit and some simple gear, and you’ll be ready to go fishing! Head down to your local pier, or cast a line from the beach at sunset.

Hear the Miss Chris set out for deep sea and custom cruises every morning, right outside your window!

Try a Cape Cod Canal Cruise from Onset Pier, just a 2 minute walk from the house and 10 minutes from the Bourne Bridge. It is the historic canal’s only sightseeing cruise! Points of interest include Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Sagamore Bridge, Bourne Bridge, Vertical Lift Railroad Bridge, Gray Gable, Herring Run, Aptucxet Trading Post, Scusset Beach Fish Pier, Sandwich Boat Basin and Cape Cod Bay. Don’t miss our favorite – Live Music Cruises – during the summer!

    The view, with all the windows, and the convenience of the beach could not have been better. We appreciated the spaciousness of the living room/dining room/kitchen, having laundry on hand, and being able to walk to dinner etc. The place was clean, and Michael was pleasant, responsive, and helpful. Check-in was a breeze.

    We loved the apartment but found a few centipedes on bed #2. The couches were very dirty, as were the pillows on the couches. The dishwasher leaked on the first day, and I expressed that concern. I was told, Oh no, and no one looked into it. Area rug in kitchen was extremely dirty.

    We had a lovely time and the property was nice and clean and walkable to the beach and a few restaurants in town. The view of the bay from the kitchen and living room was amazing! Onset Beach got a bit crowded at some points but was beautiful during the early morning hours. Hosts left books, toys and games for my kids too which was so thoughtful! We definitely recommend this property.
