Saquish Head is a serene and picturesque beach located at the entrance to Plymouth Bay in Plymouth, Massachusetts. It is known for its quiet and peaceful atmosphere, offering endless walking opportunities along its diverse terrain, which includes sandy dunes, grassy areas, and rocky outcrops. The beach provides breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility. Saquish Head is a private area, accessible only to property owners and their guests, adding to its exclusivity and charm.
The beach is part of a small private settlement with summer cottages, and it lacks public utilities, relying on solar, wind, or propane power. The name 'Saquish' is believed to derive from a Wampanoag word meaning 'abundance of clams.' The area is steeped in history, with remnants of Civil War forts and a connection to the early days of the Plymouth Colony.
Despite its remote feel, Saquish Head is not far from Plymouth's central area, though access is limited due to its private nature and the rugged terrain leading to it.
