The town of Acushnet is located in Southeastern Massachusetts near the city of New Bedford and not too far from Cape Cod. A river with the same name begins here and flows to Buzzards Bay, where it empties into the harbors of the New Bedford and the town of Fairhaven. This region of Massachusetts is a very beautiful area. The ocean is a very important part of our area. The bay is very important to us because it provides us with many fun activities during the summer months and it also provides jobs for many people .
Fishing is a very important industry.
There are many great sandy beaches along the coast. Acushnet is only a few minutes from Cape Cod and the island of Martha's Vineyard. The town also has four beautiful ponds. Throughout the year, one can always see people fishing along the shores of our ponds or just enjoying the scenery. Acushnet is a quiet and friendly community of less than 10,000 people.
