Oxner's Beach

Things to do

From the Visit South Shore website:

Welcome to Oxner’s Beach, a private 63 acre beach and marsh owned by the surrounding landowners. You are encouraged to use the beach and marsh for personal recreation only – swimming, bird watching, nature walks. Do not walk or park vehicles on dunes or grasses as they provide nesting for birds and prevent the sand from shifting. Removal of materials of any kind from this area is prohibited. No vehicles over ½ ton allowed. Please respect the beauty of our area and please do not litter.
