About This Access Site
Monument Beach Marina is a town-owned public boat ramp facility located in Phinney's Harbor on upper Buzzards Bay. This well-developed access point offers convenient launching for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the protected waters of the harbor and surrounding Buzzards Bay area. The site features a public boat ramp with parking, and sits adjacent to Monument Beach itself, creating a scenic launching area. The harbor benefits from natural protection provided by the arm of Mashnee Island, making it a good option for paddlers of varying skill levels.

The marina is part of a broader recreational complex managed by the Town of Bourne's Department of Natural Resources. Nearby amenities include the Bourne Community Boating Center, which operates seasonal programs, as well as the Cape Cod Canal just a short distance away—offering additional paddling and recreation opportunities. Paddlers launching here can explore the calm waters of Phinney's Harbor or venture into the broader Buzzards Bay system. The facility's proximity to Scusset Beach State Reservation and access to the Cape Cod Canal corridor makes Monument Beach a strategic jumping-off point for multi-destination paddling trips in the region.
