  Manomet Point (Scenic Drive — Stop & View)

  Town of Plymouth (Manomet Point Road Landing)

  Manomet Point is a rocky headland in Plymouth's Manomet village, where granite boulders, old timber pilings and clear, shallow water meet the open bay. It's best enjoyed as a scenic drive: take it slow along Manomet Point Road, pull over only where it's legal, and take in the view. The point is ringed by private homes, so stay on the public way — the Town of Plymouth's Manomet Point Road Landing is the nearby public access, a small boat ramp.
