Also called Bass Hole Beach, this small beach at the mouth of Chase Garden Creek is best known for its long elevated boardwalk over the salt marsh; most visitors come for the boardwalk and picnic pavilion rather than swimming, and a small town marina and boat ramp sit alongside the beach.

Common questions
Is Gray's Beach in Yarmouth open today?
Gray's 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.
As of early 2026 the boardwalk was damaged by a February storm (dislodged pilings); the town has been working on repairs, so check current status before a visit.
Is there parking at Gray's Beach, and what does it cost?
Paid lot (paid seasonal parking). 400 Center Street lot
Are there restrooms at Gray's Beach?
Public restrooms are listed near the beach. Seasonal hours are common, so they may be closed off-season.
