Living along Mount Hope Bay in Fall River’s Sandy Beach
Along the shore of Mount Hope Bay, Sandy Beach is a neighborhood on the west side of Fall River, a small Massachusetts city 19 miles from Providence and 54 miles from Boston. Sandy Beach offers single- and multi-family housing options close to the water, where several marinas offer spots for residents to dock their boats. The neighborhood has many longstanding local restaurants, including several Portuguese bakeries, markets and cafes, and sits alongside Kennedy Park, one of the city’s largest green spaces. “Sandy Beach is a tight-knit community,” says Fall River resident and Realtor with RE/MAX Vantage, Pamela Laliberte. “A lot of people have lived there for decades. They all know everyone.” She says knowing your neighbor is part of the culture of Fall River. “We have around 90,000 people, but you end up knowing so many of them,” she says. “Even though it’s a decent-sized city, you still have that feeling of connection. No matter where you live, you know your neighbors, and people look out for each other.”
