Sagamore Beach is a village on Cape Cod, in the town of Bourne, Massachusetts, United States. The northern half of the Sagamore census-designated place, Sagamore Beach faces Cape Cod Bay, and the Cape Cod Canal courses through it. Along with Buzzards Bay and Bournedale, it is one of three communities that comprise the county of Barnstable.
In addition to its residential areas, Sagamore Beach has a small commercial district located near the Sagamore Bridge and along Massachusetts Route 3A, which passes through the bridge. It also adjoins the Scusset Beach State Reservation, a public-access, beachfront recreation site located at the northern end of Cape Cod Canal.
Developments in the 2000s included a new post office, a fire station, and the creation of several new subdivisions. In December 2023, the federal government awarded an initial down payment of $372 million in grants for the renovation of the Sagamore and Bourne Bridges, both of which are nearing their obsolescence. The two bridges connect Cape Cod to Massachusetts proper, arching over the canal and allowing the passage of pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
