Horseneck State Beach

This gorgeous stretch of sandy beach is located at the western end of Buzzards Bay. It's southwestern shore location ensures a refreshing breeze all year round, providing excellent wind surfing and a dependable respite from sweltering inland temperatures every summer.
Features a bathhouse, snack bar, picnic tables, hiking, great windsurfing, and a campground next to the beach. Swimming is good - but be careful at low tide as the sand bars tend to dropoff a bit more than usual.
Behind the dunes near Gooseberry Neck (a rocky headland at the eastern end of the Reservation), is a 100-site campground. You may contact the campground by calling (508)636-8817.
Things to know before you go…:
The campground office hours are 8am–10pm; the regular camping season is from mid-May through mid-October. Swimming is only permitted at designated beaches in the reservation, and pets are not allowed at beaches and swimming areas. All the sand dunes are protected-entrance prohibited.
