Goose Hummock Town Landing in Orleans provides convenient access to Town Cove and the surrounding Nauset Marsh system. The well-maintained ramp accommodates a range of vessels, from kayaks and canoes to larger recreational boats. The site is located at 1 MA-6A in Orleans and offers parking for vehicle and trailer combinations.
**Tidal Considerations:** Boaters should be aware of a notable drop-off at low tide, which can affect launching and retrieval. The ramp generally handles larger vessels on most tidal stages, but timing your visit around mid to high tide will provide the smoothest access. The calm waters of Town Cove make this an ideal launch point for paddlers exploring the protected marsh areas and for boaters seeking less exposed conditions compared to Cape Cod's ocean-facing beaches.
The landing is located near Cape Cod National Seashore and provides access to extensive paddling opportunities throughout the local cove and marsh system. Goose Hummock, a nearby outfitter, offers equipment rentals and additional services for visitors to the area.
