Plymouth Long Beach
A three-mile barrier beach reaching into Plymouth Harbor, with seasonal drive-on access for permitted vehicles.
Long Beach is the classic Plymouth beach day: walk out from the lot at the base, or drive the sand with a permit and an SUV. The further out you go, the emptier it gets.
Parts of the outer beach close seasonally for piping plover nesting, and the tide matters more here than anywhere else in town — check both before you commit to a long walk.
Hours change seasonally in Plymouth — call ahead or check the website before you drive over.
