Common questions
Is Woodbury Beach in Beverly open today?
Woodbury Beach is not monitored right now. MA DPH samples beach water Memorial Day to Labor Day and posts no advisories or all-clears off-season, so there is no swim status to report. Swimming off-season is at your own risk.
Do non-residents pay to park at Woodbury Beach?
Yes, since it sits inside Lynch Park, non-residents pay the Lynch Park gate fee from Memorial Day through Labor Day while residents park free with a sticker.
Are there restrooms at Woodbury Beach?
Public restrooms are listed near the beach. Seasonal hours are common, so they may be closed off-season.
What rules should I know at Woodbury Beach?
No lifeguard confirmed; swim at your own risk. Lynch Park park rules apply, including no tents, canopies, charcoal grills, drones, or smoking.
Can you swim at Woodbury Beach?
There is no MA DPH swim status for Woodbury Beach off-season: the state samples beach water Memorial Day to Labor Day. Swimming off-season is at your own risk; check conditions posted at the beach.
