Duxbury Beach
Patron Adherence to Closing Times

During these challenging times, the Town of Duxbury is fortunate to have a resource like Duxbury Beach.  While people are staying home from work and school, the beach provides enough open space for people to enjoy the outdoors while still safely adhering to the principles of social distancing.

Unfortunately, many recent visitors to our beach have not been keeping their distance from others and have not been adhering to beach rules.  Please be aware that the beach is staffed by our public safety officials for your protection and the protection of the beach.  Please make sure that you are familiar with the beach rules and make note of all closing times prior to going to the beach.

Persons who refuse to leave any part of the beach that is closed or at the requisite closing time may be subject to the revocation of their beach sticker and/or monetary fines.  Policing this behavior is taking staff away from our already stressed public safety agencies.  Unfortunately, if patrons cannot use the beach responsibly and adhere to rules (including observing the closing times), the Town will have no choice but close the area to the public.  If people maintain their distance from others (including beach staff) and adhere to the regulations then we can all continue to enjoy this tremendous recreational resource during this difficult time.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
