Bourne

Bourne

Bourne, known as the “gateway to Cape Cod,” was incorporated as its own town in 1884 after being a part of the Town of Sandwich since 1640, with a trading history that dates back to the Pilgrims in the 1620s.  The town is well-known for being home to the Cape Cod Canal with its many places for recreation along its shores and wonderful scenic views of ships passing by.  Bourne is well-known for its boating and swimming areas, as well as its variety of fishing and shellfishing opportunities.

Like all of the other towns on the Cape, Bourne is a quiet community in the winter that buzzes with visitors in the summer months.  However, the Bourne community proudly retains its laidback lifestyle, even with the influx of summer tourists.  Popular programs in the summer that residents and visitors enjoy include weekly Concerts in the Park and the annual September Bourne Scallop Festival.
