The gateway to the Cape
Known as the gateway to the Cape, Wareham is a Plymouth County town that visitors to Cape Cod passed through before the construction of modern highways. With nearly 40 miles of waterfront, this small peninsula brims with access to the shore. Now, the traffic is gone, but the coast remains – and that’s why locals like it. “You have the Cape Cod feel without having to deal with the traffic,” says Francis Gropman, broker/owner of Gropman Realty Group and Wareham native. “There’s access to the water and fun without crossing the bridge and waiting for hours.”
Wareham truly is the gateway to Cape Cod with offerings for all.
Wareham residents enjoy 40 miles of shoreline.

Nearly 40 miles of shoreline
Outdoor recreation opportunities surround Wareham. Nearby Broad Marsh Conservation Area is a popular spot for kayaking, canoeing or a scenic nature walk. When visiting these salt marches, people hear egrets and blue herons and see striped bass or oysters amid marshy grass and cattails. Swift’s Beach is a popular spot to spend a day by the shore. It doesn’t get a lot of traffic and, due to tide pools and sandbars, the water is shallow. Nearby, Onset Beach and the surrounding little town are a bit more popular, with calm water and more room on the sand for umbrellas and beach chairs.

What’s happening on Main Street, dining and shopping
“One of the best things about Wareham is that it’s a perfect size," says Cindy Parola, associate broker with Laforce Realty Corporation. “The area has a small-town feel, but there are enough people to support a Target, Wal-Mart, Stop & Shop and Shaw’s.” At the top of the neighborhood sits Wareham Plaza, a shopping center with Shaw’s grocery store, Walgreens pharmacy, Aubuchon Hardware, Wareham Pizza and more. About 2 miles north is Wareham Crossing, a mall with an Old Navy, L.L. Bean Outlet and a Barnes & Noble. Residents can also access Wareham’s Main Street, with local businesses and restaurants between historic brick buildings, above-ground powerlines and old clocks. Riverside Café and The Blue Foot Café are the go-to breakfast spots, while Scarlet Rose Bistro and Minerva Pizzeria and Slice House are popular for dinner.
