et along the south shore of the Upper Cape,
Mashpee comprises approximately 24
square miles. Thanks to its sandy beaches,
freshwater ponds, superior shopping and enchanting
woodlands, the town was named one of the best
places to live on the coast by Coastal Living in 2019
and hailed a “newly rising New England classic.”
To its credit, Mashpee has put aside thousands of
acres of conservation land and offers exceptional
fishing and recreation on four of the largest
freshwater ponds on Cape Cod. The town also has
more than five miles of ocean beaches on Nantucket
and Vineyard Sounds, and extensive waterfront on
both Waquoit and Popponesset Bays.
Mashpee was established as a reserve for the last
remaining descendants of the Mashpee Tribe of
Wampanoag – the Native Americans who were
the first Cape Codders, many centuries before the
Pilgrims’ arrival in 1620. Wampanoag culture and
history still define much of the town’s character
today. The federally recognized Tribe has its
own museum on Main Street, celebrating the Tribe’s
special connection to the Cape. You can also immerse
yourself in the Wampanoag Tribe’s culture every
summer at the annual PowWow celebration on tribal
grounds.
