Marshfield is a coastal town on the South Shore of Massachusetts, situated about 30 miles southeast of Boston along Massachusetts Bay. With its long stretches of beach, including the popular Brant Rock and Green Harbor areas, the town has a distinct seaside character and draws summer visitors while maintaining a year-round community. Marshfield is known for its maritime heritage, the historic Daniel Webster Estate, and its relatively rural feel despite its proximity to the metropolitan area.
