Why choose Stop and Shop Supermarket at Mashpee 87
Why Mashpee, Cape Cod?
Mashpee sits right on Cape Cod, the legendary Massachusetts peninsula famous for white-sand beaches, lighthouses, seafood shacks, and classic New England charm. Spend your days off at South Cape Beach State Park, kayaking on Popponesset Bay, cycling the Shining Sea Bikeway, or strolling through Mashpee Commons with its cafés, shops, and live summer music.
You’re also perfectly positioned for weekend adventures: Boston is about 90 minutes away, and the ferries to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket leave from nearby Falmouth and Hyannis. Cape Cod in the summer is where American students, families, and travelers from around the world come together – and you’ll be right in the middle of it.
