Stayed here a few times over the years. Always stayed in the mooring field. Great stop off before going through the canal. Good restaurants within walking distance. Main channel goes right by mooring field so expect some wakes, especially in the morning. Dinghy dock available. Harbormaster was very helpful.

We decided last minute to pull into Onset Harbor and check out the tiny town of Wareham. The Harbormaster was very friendly and accommodating - we had made a reservation thru Dockwa but had not yet received a confirmation. The free launch picked us up and was very skillful handling the launch and a super nice guy. The town is small yet has paces to go for drinks and dinner. It would also be a great town to provision as hardware store and grocery stores are less than a mile from the Onset Harbor moorings. There is a small island in the middle of the Harbor that the public can go to and lots of beach surrounding the Harbor. We stayed one night as we were passing through. As the whole harbor is no wake, so you can swim off your boat while moored. They have a pump-out boat, too. Great for a stopover!
