Bourne’s Little Bay Conservation Area packs a lot of Cape Cod scenery into one place. Here, you can stroll through rolling pine forests and explore the sandy shoreline of Little Bay, all along a single trail network. Take some time to discover this Bourne Conservation Trust property and its neighbor, Monks Park, the next time you’re seeking a walk that captures Buzzards Bay’s unique coastal geography.

Take a seat and enjoy the view of Little Bay from this trailside bench atop a wooded hill at Little Bay Conservation Area.

There aren’t too many places around Buzzards Bay where you can climb hills through the forest and launch a kayak at a single location — but that’s what Little Bay Conservation Area and neighboring Monks Park have to offer. Whether you’re craving a leisurely beach walk or a quick woodland hike that will get your heart beating, you can find it here.

There’s another reason why Little Bay is worth a visit: the beautiful water views. Take a seat on one of the many trailside benches to stop and savor the sight of this sheltered bay, with wooded Tobey Island and upper Buzzards Bay in the distance.
