Waterfront Homes for Sale in Scituate MA

An Ariel View of Scituate Harbor

Located along the coast just south of Boston is a seaside fishing village called Scituate which boasts some of best waterfront homes in the region.  In Scituate MA, Waterfront Homes for sale can be found to suit almost every budget.  There are the multiple beach areas starting in the north and moving south you will find names such Minot, that looks North towards Minot’s Lighthouse.  Traveling further south down the coast, you will find Egypt Beach, Peggoty Beach, Sand Hills, the Harbor, and finally Humarock just to name a few.  Each of these areas of town are a classic beach community in, and of, themselves.  However each has its own distinct feel; drawing on its proximity to the water and neighborhood.

Proximity to the Water, and Beach Styles

The coast of Scituate was crafted by glacial deposits, and the effects of the abutting ocean.  Some stretches of beach are of the finest sand, others, are simply a granite outcropping, and in between you find great beaches of varying texture.  Over time Mother Nature has played games with the coast altering it to whatever fashion she so desires.  So from season to season the beach shapes vary in size, shape, and texture.  If you are comfortable with this concept, as my Scituate residents are, there can be no place better to call home.  Some homes can be found abutting a seawall, standing on the ocean’s edge, other homes on stilts so that the ocean can wash under it in period of higher tides.  While others sit on a cliff with commanding ocean views.  Preference and budget usually play a large factor in selecting one’s proximity to the water.
