Common questions
Is Weweantic Beach in Marion open today?
open to the public; water quality here is not monitored by MA DPH (updated 2026-09-13). MA DPH is the authority. Check the status the morning you go.
Is Weweantic Beach different from River Road Beach?
Probably not: the town's Open Space Plan labels the River Road parcel "(Weweantic Beach)" directly, so this is most likely one place listed under two names.
