Cohasset is a premier coastal community on Massachusetts' South Shore, located roughly 20 miles south of Boston. The town is centered around a sprawling, historic Village Common that looks like a scene from a postcard. Its shoreline is distinctively rugged, characterized by dramatic granite ledges and deep blue waters. Sandy Beach is the town's crown jewel, a beautiful stretch of sand tucked between rocky outcrops. For those seeking more natural, uncrowded spots, Black Rock Beach features unique dark stone formations, while Pleasant Beach lives up to its name with its serene environment. Cohasset Harbor is a hub for boating and upscale dining, with views of the sailing ships. Nearby Bassing Beach is a popular spot for boaters seeking a sandy escape on an offshore island. Town Beach provides additional space for families to enjoy the ocean. Cohasset maintains an air of quiet exclusivity and historic preservation that defines the New England coastal experience.
