Monument-Beach
is located in Barnstable County at the beginning of Cape Cod, or what is commonly known as the Upper Cape Region. It is one of the ten villages that make up the town of Bourne. The Upper Cape Region also includes the towns of Falmouth, Mashpee and Sandwich. As of the 2000 census, Monument Beach had a population of 2,438, while the entire town of Bourne has a population of approximately 18,700. The two bridges that access Cape Cod (over the Cape Cod Canal) are located in this area. Monument Beach is bordered by the historical settlement of Plymouth on the north, the Atlantic Ocean on the northeast and Buzzards Bay on the west. The Cape Cod Canal, which bisects the community of Bourne, is well known for its excellent 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 Monument Beach/Bourne area is also very popular. Bourne is a quiet community without the heavy tourist traffic of some of the other areas of Cape Cod, which makes it a great place to base a Cape Cod vacation. It is just minutes to all the attractions such as the museums and shopping in Hyannis and the Cape Cod National Seashore. Bourne is also host to an annual Scallop Festival, usually held in September each year.

Monument Beach 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.
