Guide
Good to know
Perfect for young children swimming
Water stays knee-deep or shallower for extended stretches, with soft sand and calm conditions ideal for small kids.
Visit at low tide for exploration
Water retreats up to half a mile, exposing sandbars, tide pools, sand dollars, rocks, and shallow wading for miles.
Book parking online 10 days ahead
Non-resident spots sell out quickly, especially on weekends, through the Blinkay app or Gloucester website.
Arrive early; crowd peaks by 11am
Summer and nice-weather weekends draw large crowds; arriving by 8-9am gives best beach access and parking.
Facilities close by 5-6pm
Bathrooms, showers, and snack bar shut down in early evening, though porta-potties remain available.
