Duxbury Beach Park — Attraction in Duxbury

Lovely clean and quiet beach. Must have a beach pass from Duxbury Town Hall - expensive even for Residents. Yes, the beach can be rocky in places, but there is plenty of sand space to set up a blanket , chairs and/or beach shelter.

No actual food stand on Duxbury part of beach. Best to bring your own food and water to drink and a bag for take-out garbage. Only 2 porta potties in parking lot (bring an extra roll of toilet paper). Most days, an ice cream truck is there from 12noon to 7p.

There is NO bath house on Duxbry beach. At the Marshsfield end, there is a simple food shack, bathrooms and bathhouse, but it's a very long walk. Have only been there weekdays, and found it to be not overly crowded (especially after 3p when the sun is less intense). Never experienced any rowdy groups. Would take our grandchildren there.

Life guards on duty as well, but be aware of rip tides - check...

Beautiful Beach But Stuck in the Past — Bring Cash!

We visited Duxbury Beach Park with our toddler and had a really pleasant time overall — the vibe was great, the sand was clean, and the crowd was friendly. The water was nice too, but here’s the heads-up for parents: the beach is full of rocks, which can be tricky (and even unsafe) for young kids. Just something to be cautious about when walking around or getting in the water.

Now the big letdown? Payment. It’s 2025, and unbelievably, they still only accept cash. No Venmo, no Cash App, no card, no digital payments of any kind. To make things worse, the ATMs at the beach were out of service, so we had to drive back nearly 3 miles just to find an ATM and get the $25 needed for entry. Frustrating and totally avoidable if they modernized.

Tip: Come prepared with $25 cash or risk a detour. Amazing place, but seriously needs to step into the...

Mesemerizing, stupendous

Not happy to be not allowed to go all the way to Government way and then further beyond till western point. I am not a resident of Duxbury and hence cannot drive my car all the way. This was a setback for me but soon I felt like this is one of the rarest inhabited places which is being conserved to protect its natural beauty. And this is really great. I have seen in pictures lagoon formations in this area and wish to be there soon. Whatever I could enjoy near state park was equally great. The bridge, the walkways, the small yet bustling restaurant everything was so cool.

I love this beach and leaving with promise to be back soon for my ultimate goal till extreme end of this land mass intruding into the...
