Oceanfront Property on Cape Cod -- Three varieties to choose from!
Though only about 90 miles from end to end, Cape Cod boasts more
than 550 miles of shoreline. This means that there are myriad
opportunities for finding a waterfront home to suit you needs. Many
Cape properties enjoy the majestic and endless view of one of the
three bodies of water surrounding Cape Cod - Nantucket Sound, Cape
Cod Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. Each comes with its own
advantages.
Nantucket Sound
The waters of Nantucket Sound are generally warm and the wave
action is calm, making it perfect for families. For those
interested in a second or a summer home, the South coast of Dennis
is home to a large number of so-called "cottage
communities" -- large plots of private land with many quaint
and adorable little seaside cottages in them. These communities run
the gamut from Chase's Ocean Grove in Dennisport, which has a
long history and is a local landmark, to the brand-new Heritage
Sands where owners enjoy the privacy of their own home but the
ammenities of a Seaside club-like association.
Cape Cod Bay
Located in the crook of the arm formed by Cape Cod is Cape Cod
Bay. The bay enjoys the crisp and clear waters which characterize
the Gulf of Maine, with vast sand flats extending as far as a mile
off shore at low tide. These flats are home to countless sea
creatures and treasures like sea glass, driftwood, and seashells.
The Northern coast of the Cape is also generally higher in
elevation than the South Coast, giving rise to outstanding views
from on high. (For more on the geology of Cape Cod click here).
The Atlantic
If you are looking for an infinite view and the
majesty of the open ocean, then the Atlantic views are for you. The
entirety of the outer Cape is bounded by the Atlantic itself with
its gorgeous sunrises, long stretches of pristine beaches, and high
bluff views. Whales can often be seen from shore on the Outer Cape,
along with seals, sharks, and birds of every description.
Whether you are looking for the sublime majesty of an open ocean view or the inviting seaside communities of Nantucket Sound, Cape Cod has it all!
