Welcome to your ultimate guide to making the most out of your town’s beautiful beaches! Whether it’s a day at Ferry Beach, a family outing at Pine Point Beach (Hurd Park), or catching the sunrise at Higgins Beach, a season beach pass is your ticket to unlimited summer bliss. These handy passes aren’t just a convenience; they’re your all-access pass to the best beach days your town has to offer, valid across all three town-operated beaches. So, whether you’re a sun worshipper, a sandcastle enthusiast, or someone who just loves the sound of the waves, we’ve got you covered.

Getting your hands on a beach pass couldn’t be simpler, though it does require a tiny bit of legwork. All beach passes must be obtained in person, ensuring that the pass gets into the right hands – yours! Seniors aged 60 and above, take note – your passes are free, a small token of appreciation for the wisdom and spirit you bring to our community. Head on over to the Town Clerk’s Office or the Revenue Office with your vehicle registration in tow. And if you’re decking out all your household’s vehicles with beach passes, make sure to bring along their registrations, too. While cash or check is your go-to payment method, cards are welcomed with a small additional convenience fee.

For our four-legged friends and their human companions, a quick heads-up on beach-going etiquette is in order. From May 15 to Labor Day, beach time is a bit restricted for dogs – they can enjoy the beach off-leash from dawn to 9:00 a.m., and they’re welcome to join you on a leash from 5:00 p.m. until dusk. But remember, during the busy hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the beach is a no-go zone for pups. It’s not all ‘no’s, though – from the day after Labor Day until May 14, dogs are welcome on the beaches, with leash requirements in place from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. to ensure everyone gets a piece of the paradise.

And what about those majestic beach trotters – horses? There are specific guidelines and ordinances in place to ensure that both horses and beachgoers can enjoy their time without a hitch. Both dog and horse parents should take a moment to familiarize themselves with the designated areas and times to ensure their beach outings are fun, safe, and respectful of the town’s wildlife and natural beauty. Details on these regulations are just a click away, with comprehensive guides and maps available through the linked Animal Control and Horse Beach Permit Ordinances. Whether it’s a peaceful stroll with your trusty steed or a playful romp with your pooch, a little preparation goes a long way in making beach time enjoyable for everyone.

So, there you have it – your go-to guide for a seamless beach experience in our lovely town. With your season pass in hand and a keen awareness of our pet-friendly policies, you’re all set for a summer filled with sun, sand, and smiles. Whether you’re a lifelong resident, a potential homebuyer, or a local business owner looking to soak up some beach time between commitments, we welcome you. Dive in, the water’s fine!
