ALL (94) DescriptionSpread across nearly 600 acres of barrier beach and salt marsh, Horseneck Beach is one of the most popular facilities in the MA State Park system. Located at the western end of Buzzards Bay, the sandy, southwest-facing, 2 mile long beach is breezy all year round, providing excellent wind surfing and a dependable respite from sweltering inland temperatures every summer. Behind the dunes near Gooseberry Neck (a rocky headland at the eastern end of the Reservation), is a 100-site campground. The combination of ocean beach and estuary habitat makes Horseneck one of the premier birding locations in New England.

Firewood is available for $5.00 per bundle. Pricing may vary at campgrounds with camp stores.
