Common questions

Is White Horse in Plymouth open today?
Open, no advisory on record in the latest MA DPH posting (updated 2026-07-16). MA DPH is the authority. Check the status the morning you go.
Can I park here if I'm not a resident?
Not really - there is no off-street public lot, and on-street parking throughout the entire White Horse Beach district requires a Plymouth resident beach sticker, strongly enforced May 22-Sept 7; guest passes only go to residents of 15 named streets in the district.
Do you need a sticker to park at White Horse Beach?
Yes, a resident beach parking sticker is required within the White Horse Beach Parking District from the Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day; the district excludes public lots on Taylor Ave and St. Charles Ave/Whitehorse Rd from the free-guest-pass program.
Are there restrooms at White Horse?
Public restrooms are listed near the beach. Seasonal hours are common, so they may be closed off-season.
What rules should I know at White Horse?
Shark-alert flag system in effect; heed posted flags. Shark-flag advisory system in use: red flag = confirmed sighting/beach closed, yellow = unconfirmed sighting/swim with caution. No alcohol/glass containers, loud music, open fires; boats must stay 150 ft from swimmers; no jet skis in certain…
