Displays information useful to prospective visitors to the

Drive that roughly parallels our 1500 miles of spectacular ocean
shoreline, the public has access to a thousand beaches, parks,
conservation areas, and other waterfront properties owned by government
and non-profit land trusts. The Access Locator will help you find these
varied places and discover what each has to offer, ranging from the
well-publicized expanses of National Seashore down to the smallest
footpaths and landings that only the locals know. To learn more about
CZM's shoreline public access to the coastal zone, and about hard-copy
access guides published to date, see the CZM website at http://www.mass.gov/czm/spa2.htm.
