Harwich is named after an English seaport and was founded in 1694 when it separated from the nearby town of Brewster. Situated along Nantucket Sound, there are several miles of white sand saltwater beaches. The three protected harbors of Saquatucket, Wychmere and Allen Harbors in Harwich Port provide an ideal location for sailing. Also accessible to the public are numerous freshwater ponds. The Pleasant Lake area was the site of the country’s first cranberry bog where they are still harvested today. Recreationists and bird watchers alike will delight in the many conservation areas and miles of the Cape Cod Rail Trail bike path. A nationally recognized golf course, picturesque harbors, cranberry bogs and conservation land all await when you become a visitor of Harwich.
