Current public beach postings

The water quality at public beaches in Massachusetts is required to be monitored. When the water quality is unsafe, the beach is required to be “posted” with a sign that indicates swimming is unsafe and may cause illness.

Note: Most public beaches in Massachusetts close for the year after Labor Day. These beaches are not included in the beach postings table.
