Swimming holes on Cape Cod

HAMBLIN’S POND,MARSTONS MILLS Marstons Mills is a treasure trove of ponds, including Muddy, Round, Middle, Little, Long, and Shubael. But if you ask most children in town where they learned to swim and where they spent most of their summer, they’ll mention Hamblin’s Pond. It has a roped-off swimming area with a shallow grade that’s canvassed by lifeguards, so it’s good for families. Children will love the ice cream truck that makes a daily run. From Route 6, take exit 5 and head south on Route 149. Go straight at the rotary and drive 0.5 mile to the cemetery and turn right. Follow the road to the pond.
