Coastal neighborhood in Plymouth County
New England’s coastal charm is embodied in Ocean Bluff-Brant Rock, a Marshfield neighborhood situated right along the water. From the land of the Wampanoag Native American tribe to 17th-century pilgrim settlements, this area and its natural beauty have attracted inhabitants for centuries. “There are a lot more permanent residents than tourists,” says Glenn McDonald, a senior broker associate with Success! Real Estate and an Ocean Bluff-Brant Rock resident. “Of course, there are a couple of rentals on the beach, but it’s predominantly families who have been living here for years.” Because of the permanent local population, restaurants and shops in this area stay open year-round. Residents here have immediate access to several popular beaches and public parks. Students are zoned for Marshfield Public Schools, which receive an overall A-minus rating from Niche.
Brant Rock's strong connection to the ocean is displayed in its local art work.
The Brant Rock received its name from this large rock formation jetting out into the Atlantic.

Five beaches within walking distance
“The neighborhood has five distinct beaches,” McDonald says. “They all have public parking, and they’re within walking distance, but Rexhame Beach is probably the most popular because it’s one of the largest.” The other four beaches include Brant Rock Beach, Sunrise Beach, Fieldstone Beach and Old Rexhame Beach; all except Brant Rock Beach have wide stretches of soft sand. Rexhame Beach also has sand dunes adorned by beach plum shrubs and American beachgrass. During the warmer months, residents flock to the beaches for skimboarding, surfing and swimming. Situated between Rexhame and Old Rexhame Beach is Beadles Rocks, a rocky outcropping popular for striped bass fishing. This neighborhood is also home to Tower Avenue Park, which has a playground and picnic area as well as an outdoor athletic complex featuring multi-purpose ballfields and a basketball court.

Haddad’s Ocean Café has served seafood since 1937
There are a number of unique eateries and local shops dotting the Ocean Bluff-Brant Rock area: “It’s a small neighborhood-style store with a bit of everything,” McDonald says. “There’s a bakery, a butcher and lots of produce. Everyone goes here; it’s the heart of the community.” One of the most popular dining spots is Haddad’s Ocean Café, a seafood restaurant with an adjacent fish market that’s been a staple in the community since it opened in 1937. Right next door is Brant Rock Hop, a retro-themed breakfast diner specializing in classic American favorites. Residents can also dine at The Point Restaurant, which is located on the Marshfield Town Pier and is only a short walk away from Blackman’s Point. Less than 3 miles away from the neighborhood is the town’s downtown area, which has a Star Market supermarket, an Ocean State Job Lot discount chain and a combined Marshalls & HomeGoods department store.

Beachside bungalows and waterfront new builds
There’s a wide variety of housing styles in this neighborhood – potential homebuyers can find everything from classic Cape Cod dwellings and beachfront bungalows to traditional Colonial-style homes and newly built waterfront properties. “Almost everything on the water is less than 10 years old,” McDonald says. “They all had to be built on stilts to comply with flood zones.” Although most properties feature ample yard space, a lack of mature trees in the area means that a handful of residential streets lack shaded sidewalks. A majority of single-family homes in Ocean Bluff-Brant Rock sell between approximately $500,000 and $1 million, although there are a number of outliers on either end of that range. Townhouses and condominiums here tend to start around $300,000 and can climb into the low $600,000s. “Regardless of the cost or location, houses here always sell briskly and above asking price,” McDonald says.

Marshfield Lobsterfest and Fourth of July celebrations
In mid-September, the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce puts together the Marshfield Lobsterfest, an annual community event featuring local food vendors and artisans, live entertainment and cook-off competitions. Lobsterfest is hosted at the Town Pier and also has a number of kid-friendly activities, including face painting and a bouncy house. One of Marshfield’s busiest times is the week of July 4th, when people come from all over to celebrate fireworks at one of the town’s many beaches; the Rexhame Beach Association, in particular, is known for its annual Fourth of July parade and cookout.
Lobster Fest is held every September in the Ocean Bluff-Brant Rock neighborhood.

Local marshes prone to flooding
Ocean Bluff-Brant Rock is prone to flooding, although many of the homes in the at-risk areas have raised foundations to minimize the chance of water damage; most of the flooding comes from the Everson Island tributary and generally tends to only affect unoccupied marshland rather than residential areas. The neighborhood’s overall CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.
Ocean Bluff-Brant Rock offers a beautiful combination of Ocean and Marsh.
