Located on the gorgeous south side of the Cape peninsula, Harwich is a casual coastal destination with something for everyone! From its laid-back year-round population to its bustling summer months filled with visitors (nearly tripling in size to 37K), any beach lover will feel right at home in this quaint spot situated along Nantucket Sound.

Harwich's cheerful namesake has been alive and well since it was christened "Happy-go-lucky Harwich" by Queen Elizabeth in the 16th century. Residents still feel its positive vibes today - Coastal Living magazine named Harwich Port America's second happiest seaside town!
