    I would like to say that things have improved with the beach. I came in a late afternoon on a weekday and it was low tide so they were nice soft sand to walk over the beach and it was absolutely lovely. Rocks and pebbles are still there, but this was not uncomfortable, they seem to have not as much trash this time and I will say that I actually had a good time there temperature water was nice and I think you should check it out and enjoy! Changing room is still small and cramped but because it's part of the historic 1920s charm.

    Really enjoyed our beach day. Beautiful rocky landscape with plenty of sand. Note that parking fees and snack bar are CASH ONLY.

    I feel obligated to let everyone know about the parking situation. I drove here from Boston only to be told on arrival parking is for duxbury residents only. I couldn't even pay for a day pass. They informed me I could park on the other side of the bridge in a small lot for free, about 30 spots, and walk across the bridge to gain access to the beach. That's a joke. See the picture of the bridge. I stayed on a tiny beach near the free parking lot but won't be returning

    Not the hippie guy who can walk over hot coals, nor the chick that parades around in four inch stilettos everyday, nor a wee kiddie who runs barefoot over hot concrete all summer, no one has soles tough enough to walk these rocks. (Except maybe the Taiwanese who have parks with stone paths to stimulate reflexology but even then.) And still this beach is glorious! With a level six mile span, you're sure to find a place to plop pleasantly on the oh-so-lovely sand, soft and multi-colored. It absorbs falls from those hazardous beach sports. Or if you're a klutz like me and trip over your own feet, well, you'll land swimmingly. There's also long stretches of both the hard packed wet variety, and the grainy. Perfect for paddleball, frisbee, etc. Logistically easy. 45 minutes from Boston, $10 parking. Bring cash. Maybe eats as seafood isn't served until dinner time. Annoyances include one sink for eight stalls, separate hot and cold food concessions so you have to wait in line twice, 50 degree water (which means a dip, no actual swimming for me) and greenheads (horseflies, f*ckers!). Overall just a grand place to appreciate the halcyon days of sunshine and rolling waves.

    Duxbury is one of my favorite towns in southeastern Massachusetts. This beach is the picture perfect beach of New England. White powdery sand, blue calm ocean, tall green grass near the wooden fencing, and the nice wooden bridge that crosses over to the beach. It's a great place to grab some beers, soak up the sun and go for a dip in the summer. If you come in the spring it's still nice to breathe in that fresh New England salt water filled fresh air while taking a walk, even though it's a bit chilly. The only drawback are the rocks near the shore. Be careful not to slip or injure your feet while going into the water.

    A lovely beach to spend the day with some fun loving SBSers. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to come down mainly because of all the rocks on the beach. If I'm going to drive an hour I'd rather go someplace with nicer sand along the coast. The beach is still rather nice and spacious. With plenty of room to set up several different games including volleyball, bocce, and a few others. The concession stand was convenient esp. for those that don't like to pack lunch for the beach, but don't count on it being healthy for you. The boneless buffalo wings are loaded with buffalo sauce and can be quite messy to eat. The fries were much better than I had expected. However they can be inconsistent; meaning the guys I was with, they apparently got some really skinny dinky fries, while I got the bigger more potato-ey fries which they ended up digging into. Also, don't forget your forks/knives - they charge you $1 for utensils. Not that I needed it, but just an FYI. I'm actually quite surprised that the water wasn't as cold as I was expecting it to be. I'm a wimp when it comes to cold water. On your way out, be sure to stop by their cold concession - they have ice cream and slushies (Ronnie Slush to be exact!).

    This beach is disgusting. After reading all of the mixed reviews we decided to give it a try while on vacation. This is by far the worst beach I've ever visited. There was barely anywhere that wasn't covered in rocks and seaweed. There are seagulls all around and horse flys literally all over the place. We paid $20 to park and stayed for fifteen minutes. It also smells terrible. I tried to think of something positive about this beach and could not...find another beach. Trust me, you'll thank me.
