Monomoscoy Island, Massachusetts

Monomoscoy Island is located in the southern part of the town of Mashpee at 41°34′12″N 70°30′17″W (41.569951, -70.504593).[3] It is bordered by the tidal Little River and Hamblin Pond to the northwest and by the Great River to the southeast, and is connected to the mainland of Cape Cod by Monomoscoy Road, which crosses tidal marshes to the northeast. A portion of the CDP is on the Cape Cod mainland, bordered on the north by Amy Brown Road; it is therefore technically not a true island. Neighboring CDPs, all in the town of Mashpee, are Seconsett Island to the west across the Little River, Seabrook to the northwest, and a portion of the New Seabury CDP to the east, across the Great River.
