Over-sand vehicle access to Duxbury Beach offers a unique recreational experience, allowing visitors to enjoy the expansive shoreline and participate in activities like fishing and birdwatching from the convenience of their own vehicles. Access is typically limited to specific times and tides, often requiring permits and adherence to strict regulations to protect the fragile dune ecosystem.
This vehicular beach access provides significant recreational and economic benefits to the local community. It supports tourism, facilitates access for individuals with mobility challenges, and contributes to the overall vibrancy of the coastal area. Historically, this access has been a central part of Duxbury’s identity, connecting residents and visitors to the natural beauty and resources of the coastline. However, preserving the delicate balance between public access and environmental protection remains an ongoing challenge.
