Guide
Good to know
Check tide charts before visiting
Low tide reveals extensive tide pools with crabs, anemones, and starfish; high tide leaves little beach to explore.
Excellent for tide pool exploration with kids
The shallow pools contain abundant small creatures like hermit crabs and anemones that young children find engaging.
Wear sturdy, slip-resistant footwear
The rocks are sharp and extremely slippery when wet, creating a hazard for walking and exploring.
Plan for a windy, cold visit
Bring a hooded jacket; the beach is consistently windy and exposed even on pleasant weather days.
Avoid relying on GPS directions
Navigation apps may route you incorrectly through Duxbury Reef or to wrong roads; follow road signs to Ocean Parkway instead.
