Things To Do
Beaches and Cape Cod Rail Trail
Harwich is home to some pretty wonderful town beaches, and if it's not snowing or freezing, they are worth a visit! Pleasant Road Beach, Red River Beach, Earle Road Beach, and Long Pond are beaches that allow daily passes to be purchased at the gate, and with this being the "off season" it may not matter!
