Harwich, Cape Cod, Voted #2 Happiest Seaside Town

Cape Cod's town of Harwich Voted #2 Happiest Seaside Town

(Thumpertown Beach, Eastham)

• Each year, there is a competition to name the "Happiest Seaside Town." Each year one of Cape Cod's small towns makes it into the top five. This is no coincidence. The secret to Cape Cod's happiness is not only in the tourism; it's the sense of pride in community that exists not only in each individual town, but the Cape as a whole. We are proud people, Cape locals, and in the recent years the number of young people returning to their home towns to start their adult life is growing. They remember fondly the long days of summer, spent working sun up to sun down, multiple jobs, while still making the time to appreciate all that Cape Cod has to offer. One of the greatest joys is to spend a day off "playing tourist" with all of the secret knowledge of being a local, like which beaches don't check for stickers or just how to maneuver the hot sand toward the waters edge.
