Swifts Beach

Located on Buzzards Bay in Wareham, Swifts Beach offers a concrete boat ramp for launching smaller vessels into the Wareham River. The ramp is best used at high tide, so plan your launch accordingly. This public access point provides a convenient entry point to Buzzards Bay's waters, which are suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and motorized boating.

The surrounding area offers additional recreational opportunities worth exploring. Nearby Massasoit National Wildlife Refuge provides scenic paddling and wildlife viewing, while the Cape Cod Canal—just a short distance away—offers additional water access and an impressive 14-mile paved pathway for pre or post-paddle activities. The site sits within an area known for tidal mudflats and shallow bays, making it ideal for exploring coastal habitats and observing marine life like hermit crabs and shrimp.

As a state-maintained access point, Swifts Beach is open to all Massachusetts residents. Paddlers should be mindful of tidal conditions and consult local tide charts before launching to ensure adequate water depth. Parking for boat trailers is available at the site.
