Bass Hole Boardwalk

Bass Hole Boardwalk Review

One of Yarmouth Port's most beautiful areas is Bass Hole, which stretches from Homer's Dock Road to the salt marsh. Bass Hole Boardwalk extends over a marshy creek; amid the salt marshes, vegetated wetlands, and upland woods meander the 2½-mi Callery-Darling nature trails. Gray's Beach is a little crescent of sand with still water good for kids—but don't go beyond the roped-in swimming area, the only section where the current isn't strong. At the end of the boardwalk, benches provide a place to relax and look out over abundant marsh life and, across the creek, the beautiful, sandy shores of Dennis's Chapin Beach. At low tide you can walk out on the flats for almost a mile. It's a far cry from the 18th century, when a harbor here was the site of a schooner shipyard.
