About This Access Site
Megansett Harbor Landing in North Falmouth offers convenient access to Megansett Harbor and Buzzards Bay with a paved boat ramp and long wooden pier. This town-owned facility accommodates kayaks, canoes, sailboats, and powerboats, making it a versatile launch point for paddlers and boaters of all types. The harbor itself is a scenic, sheltered waterway bordered by Scraggy Neck to the north and ideal for exploring Cape Cod's classic coastal environment.

**Plan ahead for parking**, as spaces fill quickly during peak times—arrive early, especially on weekends. The jetty extending into the harbor offers excellent views and is a popular spot for launching and watching boat traffic. The access point sits near the Cape Cod Canal gateway, and the nearby Cleveland East Ledge Light marks the beginning of the dredged channel leading to the canal. Megansett Beach itself is a quiet, local-friendly beach that stays relatively calm, making it suitable for beginner paddlers, with beautiful sunset views over Buzzards Bay visible from the jetty.
