Overview
Joshua's Pond is an Osterville-village kettle pond in the town of Barnstable, with a small town-owned beach off Tower Hill Road. Parking is resident-only in season — there is no daily visitor sticker — so non-residents typically have no legal access from the beach lot in summer. Out of season, the pond is a quiet walk-by with limited shoreline.
