What is Crocker Neck Conservation Area like?
A hidden gem of the Cotuit area. Trails wind through oak-and-pine forest to the shores of Shoestring Bay and North Bay with views across to Osterville. The peninsula's varied habitats — upland forest, wetland edges, and shoreline — support excellent birding. Very lightly trafficked; a go-to for solitude.
