Red Brook Harbor offers convenient public access to Buzzards Bay and the scenic coves around Bourne. The boat ramp is located at the north side of Parker's Boat Yard, accessed via a long, shady paved path. **Note:** A Town of Bourne parking sticker is required ($25 for residents, $50 for non-residents). This is an excellent launch point for exploring the sheltered waters of Red Brook Harbor, nearby beaches, and the broader Buzzards Bay area.
The harbor is well-positioned for both paddlers and motorboaters seeking access to the Elizabeth Islands, Martha's Vineyard, and Vineyard Sound. Parker's Boat Yard provides on-site amenities including transient moorings and dockage, fuel (diesel, gas, and CNG), ice, and a ship's store. The area is also home to The Chart Room restaurant, a popular spot with local boaters. With its predictable southwesterly winds and proximity to fishing grounds and coastal paddling routes, Red Brook Harbor serves as a reliable gateway to upper Buzzards Bay.
