DUXBURY BEACH OPERATIONS

BEACH UPDATE – 02/03/2023

 

Hello Duxbury Beach Patron.  Below please find important beach information:
 

RESIDENT LOT AND CROSSOVERS
The lot is open seven days a week. The crossovers are open 8am - 3:30pm daily, weather and tides permitting.  A valid permit is required year-round to access the over-sand area.


CLOSURE OF POWDER POINT BRIDGE
As of Wednesday, February 8, 2023 the Powder Point Bridge will be closed for repairs.  The parking lot adjacent to Powder Point Avenue will also be closed. This closure is anticipated to continue through mid-March. (Weather permitting).  VEHICLES AS WELL AS PEDESTRIANS WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE BRIDGE.  Please utilize alternative routes (via Marshfield) to Duxbury Beach. 


SNOWY OWLS
We are in the season when our visitors from the north have arrived. Please make sure you follow all rules and regulations pertaining to the snowy owls.  Do not traverse dunes or vegetation in an attempt to see them. We ask that you stay in and/or very close to your vehicle to take your pictures. Never approach a bird or try to make it fly, they are resting and need to be left alone.

Rangers will be on patrol to ensure folks are in compliance. Tickets will be issued for violations and vehicles parked on the property must have a valid permit.
