Guide
Good to know
Ideal for young children and calm swimming
The water is warm, very placid with minimal waves, and protected by Nantucket Sound, making it excellent.
Visit off-season for guaranteed access

Parking requires a resident sticker during summer months, though walk-ins are free and enforcers typically leave around 4:30pm.
Bathrooms and facilities close early
Restrooms and lifeguards close between 4pm and 5pm, so plan accordingly if you stay into evening hours.
No dogs allowed May 15 through September 15
