Duxbury Beach Reservation

Located in Duxbury, Duxbury Beach Reservation. This trail system offers a pleasant recreational experience. is the nonprofit organization that owns the stretch of Duxbury Beach extending from Gurnet Road at its northern end down to the entrance of Gurnet Point and Saquish. Visitors particularly enjoy this destination during fall foliage season. During the summer season (Memorial Day to Labor Day) parking here requires a sticker, whether for the main lot or for driving over-sand along the designated beach roadways, and pedestrian access is free year-round. Managing this barrier beach is a genuinely serious job -- dune nourishment, road maintenance, and compliance with plover and least tern protections all fall to DBR, funded largely through the parking and access fees.
