Description
Duxbury Beach (aka Blakeman's) is a long, narrow stretch of shoreline running over five miles from Marshfield to Plymouth. Duxbury is actually comprised of two distinct beach areas. For sunbathing, walking and swimming, head to Outside Beach. This section offers rolling dunes and small surf. Inside Beach features protected clam beds, a boat launch and great birdwatching spots.

Lifeguards are on duty here daily in-season. Public restrooms, changing rooms, concessions and telephones are all available at the bathhouse.
A town sticker is necessary for parking in designated private lots. Free limited public parking is available across the Powder Point Bridge, but arrive early as the lot usually fills up by 9AM.

Directions
From Route 3 take a right off exit 11 (Rte. 14). Travel halfway around the rotary (as if going straight). Continue on Route 14 past the Duxbury police station, then bear left on Rte. 139. Stay on 139 for several miles to Canal Street. Turn right on Canal St. and follow it all the way to Duxbury Beach.
