There weren't a lot of people there because we came somewhat early and we got a good spot. If you just want to lie on the beach then it's a pretty good spot. Otherwise, I wouldn't really recommend it unless you have feet made of steel. The slushies are great though, and the rest of the food is decent.

The size-able parking area and bandstand serve as a great location for Independence Day festivities for the community with an old time carnival atmosphere which continues for hours leading up to the fireworks. In past times there was a railroad not far that brought Boston's movers and shakers to the lake for summer recreation. Some of the buildings from that time remain, at least partially, such as the present day senior center. Lake Massapoag is the headwater of Canoe River as well as Massapoag Brook. The Canoe River leads to Taunton River and eventually to Narragansett Bay. Massapoag Brook flows to the Neponset River which empties into Dorchester Bay. One of the more interesting wildlife facts about Lake Massapoag is that there is a species of eel which migrates up the Atlantic coast and all the way to Lake Massapoag, moving overland nocturnally during rainy nights.

Lots of firewood around, bathrooms were clean, beach was lovely. We would definitely recommend bringing a metal grille to put over the campfire for cooking as there is nothing like that onsite. Recommend packing a fitted sheet, because a sleeping bag on a bare cot is much too slippery! And pack a broom to sweep cobwebs out of cabins! Definitely rustic, but great if you're prepared!

Secret Squantum Park has a GREAT view of the Boston skyline - especially at sunset. You can work your way along the small rocky beaches covered in zillions of periwinkles and find yourself looking over calm waters back to the shiny Kubrickesque monolith that is the John Hancock building. There's also good views of UMass, the JFK library and the mysterious Thompson Island. Oh, and if you like skipping stones - THIS IS THE PLACE. I managed 12 skips with one stone. New PB!

Duxbury Beach is quite long with portions reserved for town residents, overland four-wheel-drive…read morevehicles with the necessary permit, and a portion that is open to the public regardless of residency. As I write this (July 2024), the cost per vehicle is $25 for the public portion of the beach. I'm only familiar with this public portion of the beach, but it's a mixture of rocky sections and sandy sections mixed together. It was pretty busy when I was there, so I didn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable by snapping pictures. I did capture a picture of the walk up over the sand dune, as well as some pictures from the awesome wooden bridge that leads to the entrance. There's an old-fashioned snack bar/ seafood joint near the parking lot entrance. Bonus: Very close by is Island Creek Oysters!

I know the words Yacht Club can conjure up something very exclusive and snooty, however those words…read moredon't describe this very down to earth and well-run place. If you have a boat, you have to keep it somewhere and we have belonged to a few of the local marinas since moving to the South Shore. While many may be fancier than this, Metropolitan Yacht Club, hands down has been the friendliest marina we've belonged to. Although we only joined this year, we have already met a host of lovely boaters of all kinds. The club hosts several dinners and events throughout the season in the large clubhouse where the function room can also be rented for your own private party. The facilities are comfortable and come equiped with everything you might need,showers, bathrooms, washer/dryer. The dock spaces are great and there are moorings as well. People have gone out of their way to welcome us and we've enjoyed hanging out at the dock just as much as actually taking the boat out for a ride. We look forward to continued great seasons of boating and having fun at this club.

Nice location on the water. Not many waves, so you don't need sea kayaking experience…read more The website says it is a 3 mile stretch of beach. But the coast guard has limited their range. So now it is only a 1.5 mile stretch of beach. You can't argue with the coast guard. So update your website. It's a small paddling area. I was able to complete the loop in about 45 minutes. You need to drag your own kayak back and forth to the waters edge.
