Town of Plymouth: dogs on beaches

South Shore, Massachusetts

Dogs must be leashed on Long Beach (town bylaw). From April 1 to September 30 no dogs are allowed north of the Day Parking Area (the 4x4 lot about a mile north of the main parking area), a state wildlife requirement. Leashed dogs may use Ryder Way and the beach from the main lot to the Day Parking Area, except areas closed for nesting birds.
