Bourne
is a medium sized rural community located at the beginning of Cape Cod, on what is known as the Upper Cape, which also includes the communities of Falmouth, Mashpee and Sandwich. The town of Bourne is comprised of ten "villages:" Bourne Village, Bournedale, Buzzards Bay, Cape Cod Air Station, Cataumet, Gray Gables, Monument Beach, Pocasset, Sagamore and Sagamore Beach. The two bridges accessing Cape Cod (over the Cape Cod Canal) are located in this area. Bourne is bordered by the historical settlement of Plymouth on the north, the Atlantic Ocean on the northeast, Sandwich on the east, Falmouth on the south and Buzzards Bay on the west. It is approximately 57 miles southeast of Boston. The Cape Cod Canal, which bisects the community of Bourne, is well known for its superb fishing. The Bourne Scenic Park campground is located beneath the Bourne Bridge and there are numerous harbors and inlets for sailing and boating in the area. Shell fishing in the Bourne area is especially popular. Bourne is a quiet community without the heavy tourist traffic of some of the other areas of Cape Cod, although its' population does nearly double in the summer months. Bourne is home to an annual Scallop Festival, usually held in September each year.

Bourne Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The Cape Cod region has a four season climate with maritime influences. The weather here is generally more moderate than inland Massachusetts. Extreme conditions such as blizzards and hurricanes are possible, but not typical. Due to the moderating affect of the ocean, temperatures in the Cape Cod region are usually a few degrees cooler in summer and a few degrees warmer in winter. Spring comes late and is chilly, but autumn is mild and remains warmer than places further inland. The Cape Cod region has the lowest precipitation of anyplace in New England. Tropical storms occur once every 5 or 6 years, with very high winds and heavy rain. On average, the area is hit by a hurricane once every 11 or 12 years.
