Common questions
Is White Horse Beach in Plymouth open today?
White Horse 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.
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 Beach?
Public restrooms are listed near the beach. Seasonal hours are common, so they may be closed off-season.

Can you swim at White Horse Beach?
