Duxbury Beach- Duxbury, MA
Throwing-back to summer with a post dedicated to one of the best beaches in
Massachusetts- Duxbury Beach! This beach
itself is six miles long of beautiful views that extends across marshlands with designated
preservation areas for birds and small wildlife. It is open to the general public with
a daily parking fee of $15.
For the most part the beach is very sandy with great ocean views
that go on and on. Closer to the
shoreline you’ll find some rocks but nothing too significant. One thing to definitely point out are the pesky greenhead horseflies. You may pass by several comical
signs when you enter the park, warning you about the greenheads. They tend to be quite active on the
beach. Luckily, we happened to go on a
windier day. Apparently they hideout
in windy weather so we had no issues at all with the horseflies.
On the other hand, the wind presented its own annoyances
such as having sand blow in your eyes.
However if you have a creative mind like Matt, you can just find some
random driftwood, and other things lying around the beach and make yourself a
mini canopy. I cannot say we saw anyone else on the
beach doing this... but people we definitely impressed & it did take care of the sand blowing issue.
