The Church of the Transfiguration is the center of Community of Jesus - an ecumenical Benedictine monastic community located at Rock Harbor on the shores of Cape Cod Bay. The Community follows a daily rhythm of prayer including Eucharist and Liturgy of the Hours (sung in Gregorian chant). Designed by William Rawn Associates of Boston, the Church of the Transfiguration is a contemporary expression of an ancient 4th century style of architecture, and recounts the story of salvation through hand-crafted mosaic and fresco images, bronze, glass, and stone sculpture. The organ is a restoration and expansion of pipework from twelve organs built by the E.M. Skinner Organ Company in the early 20th century. As of 3/15/2020 the Church is CLOSED until further notice. Please check back in a few weeks for updated information.
A visit to the magnificent Church of the Transfiguration in Orleans - this building rivals some of the most impressive cathedrals in the world (in my opinion) and quietly blends into the peaceful community of Rock Harbor, Orleans, Ma. From the waterfall of gold on glass, to the electrifying frescos and meticulous detail throughout the building and community, this amazing place is well worth a visit. Their gift shop offers a variety of locally crafted goods and helps complete your experience.

Excellent place to buy fresh fish and it does not get any fresher than “THIS,” I assure you! LOL! The fishermen coming in each day from fishing, unload their catch right here on the dock ( you “HAVE TO COME TO ROCK HARBOR”...unlike any place else, I PROMISE YOU!) and bring right over to this neat little store to be sold, on the spot! They also cook up fresh fish( fried cod when we went and scrumptious...we ate it on breakwater that stretched into the sea, watching the fishing boats leave for their twice daily excursions out to sea) right there! It is such a scenic little fish Mkt., there all of 50 yrs anyway with an impeccable reputation! Their prices are excellent and loved making stuffed quahogs with their fresh catch that day! Yum! Yum! Great prices, great selection and fresher than fresh fish! It doesn’t get any better than that!

We only stayed for a little while - in time to catch a beautiful sunset! It is apparently one of the "Go-to" spots on the Cape to watch the sun disappear into the western sky.

Beautiful strand of sand with all the amenities. Parking is steep (as most beaches on the Cape) at $20, but large lots and plentiful parking. Short walk from the lot passes by changing rooms, food trucks, picnic area, and bathrooms (port a potties).
