Lovell’s Pond

1444 Santuit-Newtown Road, Cotuit, MA 02635
A family takes a dip at Lovell's Pond in Barnstable, Cape Cod.

Quiet and secluded, freshwater Lovell’s Pond offers a nice change of pace from the busier ponds and beaches of Cape Cod. Access to the beach requires a bit of a walk through the wooded path, so if accessibility is an issue you might want to try nearby Hamblin’s Pond instead. The small parking lot requires a resident beach sticker. Boat ramp access to the pond is located about a quarter mile north of the beach down Santuit-Newtown road.
