Scituate is nestled on a gentle curve of coast overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from four majestic cliffs. Miles of soft sandy beaches invite residents to enjoy the bracing effect of the sun warmed surf as it breaks on the shoreline, while salt marshes, reflecting the brilliant light polished colors of the seasons, provide an ideal setting for relaxing nature walk.
A picturesque sheltered harbor, guarded by a 19th century lighthouse, is home to the town's fishing fleet and, during the spring, summer and early autumn, provides excellent mooring for pleasure craft.
Rich in history, Scituate's past is a colorful patchwork of events from Indian wars and heroic participation in the war of 1812 to a long and proud heritage of shipbuilding along the North River. Settled in the 1630's by adventurers from England known as the "Men of Kent," Scituate was originally the home of the Wampanoag Indians who called their land "Satuit" for the "cold
brook" that flows into the harbor.
