Seaside village charm — boating, galleries, and a harbor you'll fall for
Population: 6,352 · South Coast Massachusetts
Mattapoisett is the picture-perfect New England seaside village. White picket fences, a harbor full of sailboats, a tiny downtown with local shops and an ice cream stand. But it's not just cute — it's a genuine community with great schools, active volunteers, and a calendar full of events. The harbor walk at sunset is something else.
