What is Little Harbor Beach like?

Little Harbor Beach is a 22-acre resident beach on the open waters of Buzzards Bay. A sandy shoreline with gentle waves makes it popular with Wareham families for swimming and beachcombing, while a quiet salt marsh on one side invites exploration on foot or by kayak. Wide views of water and sky and good birding (including piping plovers) round out the appeal.
