Humarock


Humarock (often called Humarock Beach or Humarock Island) is part of Scituate, Massachusetts, United States 42°08′10″N 70°41′26″W / 42.13611°N 70.69056°W / 42.13611; -70.69056Coordinates: 42°08′10″N 70°41′26″W / 42.13611°N 70.69056°W / 42.13611; -70.69056. Humarock is a picturesque seaside village surrounded by water and situated on Cape Cod Bay midway between Boston and Plymouth. It was separated from the rest of the town in the Portland Gale of 1898 in which the mouth of the North River shifted. Humarock is now accessible from Scituate only by boat or from the Town of Marshfield by bridge.

The common perception that Humarock is an island is supported by the fact that the place is accessed by boat or by crossing bridges that span the South River. However, Humarock is clearly a very long, slender peninsula rather than an island as can be seen on aerial images of the area.
