Here’s what readers had to say about Harwich:

Small-town feeling, nice place to walk around, beautiful beaches. — John from Wakefield

“Lots to do in Harwich. Great dining, walking (Harwich Port), beaches (Red River Beach, Bank Street Beach), lots of hiking and biking trails. Half hour ride to Hyannis and about the same to reach the National Seashore beaches. Provincetown and Falmouth can be visited within about 45 minutes. Harwich is next to Chatham, which offers additional shopping and Cape charm.” — Jim P. from Harwich

“Red River Beach is a family favorite.” — Tricia B. from Boston

“Wonderful Main Street. Also, love the Harwich Outdoor Craft Fair.” — Debra M. from Framingham
