Bourne - Cape Cod

Winter Population - 2010 Town Census: 19,754
Summer (Estimated): 40,000

The Town of Bourne is a medium-sized rural community at the gateway to Cape Cod. The Cape Cod Canal bisects the community, with both the Bourne and Sagamore bridges, and the lift railroad bridge all located in Bourne. The canal is well known for its superb sport fishing, and for carrying ships flying the flags of all nations. The Bourne Scenic Park campground is located beneath the Bourne Bridge and is a perfect vacation location for those seeking to enjoy the activity and ever-changing vista of the canal.

Bourne has numerous quiet harbors and inlets for boating and bathing, and the shellfishing in the area is particularly enticing. Bourne is a quiet community without the summer tourist crush experienced by some of the other Cape communities. The annual Bourne Scallop Festival, which is held in early September, brings visitors from across the nation each year.

BETH'S BAKERY & CAFÉ

We are Joe & Beth Giampietro, lifetime residents of this beautiful historical town of Sandwich. We always said we would love to run a B&B or bakery in this town. With a strong faith in God we know that He guided us in every step along the way. We have a saying in our building "We have a double portion of Faith". The building was originally built for a Puritan Church and then later owned by the Catholic Church. It certainly did take a double portion of Faith to even proceed with this project. We love people and truly care if they have a good experience in our place. We invite you to enjoy the atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
