We’re easy to get to!

Pleasant Bay Community Boating is located on the Pleasant Bay waterfront where the towns of Harwich, Brewster and Orleans, Massachusetts meet, on the east coast of Cape Cod. The largest estuary on Cape Cod and a jewel of the Eastern Seaboard, Pleasant Bay is a protected embayment which provides the perfect setting for boating, marine exploration and learning opportunities for people of all ages and stages.

By car: From Rt. 6, take Exit 11, turn south on Rt. 137 toward Chatham, and turn left immediately onto Pleasant Bay Road. Follow to the end. Turn left on Rt. 28, proceed 4/10 of mile to PBCB entrance and parking on right.

Drop-off, pick-up & parking

If you are dropping off a youth sailor: turn into the parking lot and continue around to the right. Please pull forward so that no cars behind you are waiting on Route 28 to turn in. The line wrapping around the parking lot is for idling/moving vehicles only – if you would like to accompany your child to check in, please park your car so that the travel lane remains accessible. Otherwise, pull up to the check in table at the bottom of the hill. Check in for youth programs begins at 9:15 AM. Please wait near the picnic table until a member of our staff has come down the hill to meet you.

All others: please park in a spot as available. With cars parked along both edges, our parking lot can become narrow, so please ensure that you’ve pulled up as much as possible and are not blocking the travel lane.

Please note that Route 28 is a busy road, which should never be used for walking or student drop-off and pick-up.
