点评:Visit off season! Late summer and fall are IDEAL. You won't have any parking hassles nor any crowds but there will still be enough humanity around that you won't feel isolated.
The inland side of this barrier beach has small rocks and stones. You can walk on them with sneakers but this probably isn't where you'd set up a beach towel. You could, at low tide,and you'd have tame, almost pond-like calm water warmed by the afternoon sun. You'd also have a view of the Powder Point Bridge and nice houses on the shore.
This inland side also features beautiful migrating shorebirds but realize that these are FRAGILE CREATURES THAT YOU DON'T DISTURB. If you've got wild kids who like to throw rocks, do humanity and Mother Nature a favor and stay away from this area.
The ocean side is pure sand and wide open water with nothing man made to sully your view. Every time I've been here the water is clean and the waves are small (but they break beautifully) to medium. Understand that further down (to the right if you're facing the ocean) vehicles with beach permits may be on the beach if the sand conditions permit. They generally park and stay that way, it's not like a busy highway on the beach.
There is a hard packed but unpaved road that runs along the center of this barrier strip but you cannot drive it (legally) without an OSV (oversand vehicle) permit from the Town of Duxbury. There are houses on what's called The Gurney (Google it) so residents need to use this road.
People also walk this road. If you do walk it, there are various places where you can access the ocean facing beach through breaks in the fence. If you are walking, just in mind that you might get slightly dusty if it's dry and the (relatively few) vehicles with OSV permits drive fast enough to kick up dust clouds. Most drive in a manner that is considerate of walkers.
This is not a beach with entertainment. This is a beautiful beach in a mostly very natural state.

这片屏障海滩的内陆一侧有小岩石和石头。您可以穿着运动鞋在上面行走,但这里可能不是您铺沙滩巾的地方。您可以在退潮时走上去,那里的水平静得像池塘一样,午后的阳光温暖着您。您还可以看到 Powder Point 大桥和岸边漂亮的房子。
这片内陆一侧还有美丽的迁徙滨鸟,但要意识到这些是脆弱的生物,您不能打扰它们。如果您有喜欢扔石头的野孩子,请为人类和大自然做点好事,远离这个地区。
海边是纯净的沙滩和开阔的水域,没有任何人造的东西来玷污您的视野。我每次来这里,海水都很干净,海浪很小(但波浪拍打得很漂亮)到中等。请注意,如果沙质条件允许,再往下(如果你面朝大海,就在右边)有海滩许可证的车辆可能会在海滩上。他们通常会停在那里,不像海滩上的繁忙高速公路。
这条隔离带的中心有一条坚硬但未铺砌的道路,但如果没有杜克斯伯里镇的 OSV(沙地车辆)许可证,您不能(合法)驾驶这条路。在所谓的 The Gurney(谷歌搜索)上有一些房子,所以居民需要使用这条路。
人们也走这条路。如果你走这条路,有各种地方可以通过栅栏的缝隙进入面朝大海的海滩。如果你在步行,请记住,如果天气干燥,你可能会沾上一点灰尘,而且(相对较少的)有 OSV 许可证的车辆开得很快,会扬起尘土。大多数车辆的驾驶方式都很体谅行人。
这不是一个有娱乐活动的海滩。这是一个美丽的海滩,大部分都是自然状态。
