What is special about your town?
The top of any things to do in Harwich list will certainly be the beaches… What some travelers don't know is that this is considered the warm side of the Cape. If you plan on swimming this beach vacation this has a big effect. Harwich is on the Nantucket Sound with Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard just south of its sunny beaches. That barrier protection and the shallower water lead to water temperatures that are much more comfortable for a day of sun and fun.

Conservation Lands and Cape Cod Cranberries!

Bell's Neck Conservation lands are just north of the Platinum Pebble and offers spectacular views and convenient hiking and biking trails. One of the classic draws to the Cape are the Cranberry bogs, some sit just north of Bell's Neck. Cape Cod knows cranberries and makes this one of the things to do in Harwich that you might find unexpectedly cool.22 swimming holes equals 22 things to do in Harwich worth doing! A great alternative to the beach for a day, these ponds and swimming holes do take you back. Fresh water, sandy beaches, and depending on how much exploring you want to do…possibly completely empty of people. The swimming holes of Harwich are a nice, relaxing way to spend a day on vacation in one of the greatest places on earth. On Tuesday nights in the summer the Town Band concert is held.
