Duxbury Beach Access Update

August 25, 2023

CROSSOVER HOURS AND ACCESS

STARTING FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 2023:
500 total vehicles (250 resident permit and 250 non- resident permit) allowed anywhere on the over sand beach. The chains will be dropped at Crossover 1 and Crossover 3 Sunday – Thursday, 8am – 10pm and Friday and Saturday, 8am – 11pm.

The over sand beach corridor between the North Poles and South Poles are now accessible by vehicles with no restrictions.

Crossover Hours:

Friday and Saturday: 8:00 AM - 11:00 PM
Sunday- Thursday: 8:00 AM – 10:00 PM

Nighttime driving on the back road is now allowed.

The Resident Parking Lot will be open between the hours of 8:00AM and 11:00PM Friday - Sunday. Weekday hours: 8AM to 10PM.
The non- resident parking lot will be open to overflow parking. 

The posted speed limit on beach property is now back to 15MPH everywhere.

All crossovers allow LEASHED dogs only where vehicles are allowed and all dog rules apply.

Dog Areas and Sensitive Wildlife Areas

Dogs are again allowed on leash on the bayside area, directly behind the Ranger shack. Leashed dogs are also allowed on all Crossovers. Dogs are not allowed on the front resident ocean side beach or the bayside north of the bridge until September 16th.

Sensitive Wildlife Areas are in effect in several places on the beach. While beach goers are invited to set up and enjoy these areas, it is with sensitivity to the chicks that are also using the beach. Within these areas, we ask that you do not drive, ride a bike, or play any large recreational games. There are several areas where full recreational activity is allowed.

CROSSOVER ACCESS PROCEDURE

Crossovers will open at 8:00 a.m. and vehicles MUST line up behind the gate in the Resident Lot.  Only those vehicle permit holders lined up behind the gate in the resident lot will be eligible for Crossover access. Please do not drive down the back road and line up by the crossover. This will forfeit your spot in line and you will have to go to the end of the line in the Resident Lot.
