Goosewing is a nature preserve and has a beautiful shoreline with clean clear rolling waves. The view is spectacular and you certainly feel you are on the edge of land facing the big open ocean. Parking is not cheap, but it was worth every penny. The beach was not full, I found a place away from the groups and unpacked my sandwich. I was bringing my lunch up to my mouth and suddenly I had half a sandwich in my hand and the other half was already in the gullet of a sea gull! I am Savvy, I am aware of gull habits, but this one set a new high bar. I had to laugh, the gull was surprised to find itself with a beak full of veggies. Needless to say said gull stood staring at me while I finished what remnants it left me.

Open large area with plenty of space to settle in with all your beach equipment and find a good spot to Tan and enjoy the weather! Parking lot is clean new and wide spaces for your vehicles. Food options are super limited and the trucks are beach pricey. The water when we went had some crazy brown seaweed or something but made the water closest to shore look like mud slides rolling. Life guards were all nice, stay out of the coned lanes as their ATV's roll thru there. Parking can be paid Via app (the kiosks are confusing imo) i think it's $14 plus fees is what we paid as a MA resident! They had a lemonade stand as you walk over the sand dune. No trash cans anywhere except in the restroom facilities so bring a trash bag and pick up after yourself!

When we visited during the heat wave last week, the water literally looked like chocolate lol (not even joking!)... did not go in for a dip at all but this beach served us well for tanning! Food options are limited. There are food trucks but very pricey and mid. Make sure to bring your own food or stop by somewhere to pick up some food before heading here. I saw a bunch of people bringing large boxes of pizza. Parking is not free, like most beaches in MA. It's $14 for MA residents/$40 for non-MA residents. Payments can be made via YODEL app or parking kiosks in the lot. Thought the price for parking was not too shabby, honestly. We had decided to come here mostly because we didn't purchase our parking pass for any of the Gloucester beaches in time and we didn't feel like sitting in traffic on the bridges to get to the Cape. We had a great time here overall & can definitely see myself coming back in the future! They've got lifeguards on deck here & they switch out every so often, so that's good!

We came in the winter so there was a lot of snow on the ground, but it was still so beautiful and serene. I imagine it's just gorgeous in the summer. There is a small parking lot with very few stalls, but it also has a limited allowed parking time.

Be careful with smaller dogs as there are coyotes in the tall grass across from the beach. Beautiful and picturesque location. You can drive up further to the Sachuest Point National Wildlofe Refuge (dogs not allowed) which has beautiful views. Such a beautiful scenic drive or enjoying the beautiful sunrise.

There is also a huge parking lot. But like most beach spots, restrooms are closed during winter time. I would come back. It was a good time. 10 out of 10 would recommend, especially for sunset.

One of my favorite parks ever, truly a beautiful, happy place for me. Here's everything I love…read moreabout it: 1. Easy access to/from Boston, I've never run into bad traffic the way the Cape is perpetually backlogged. Also a convenient location where, if you're coming from the north, you drive through the cute downtown stretch of Bristol by the water filled with cafes and shops. 2. Free entry and parking. I love the state parks in Massachusetts but I don't love the ever-increasing cost of accessing a green space, especially if you're coming from out-of-state. 3. There's so much to do - walk the paved path along the water, bike, check out the small beach, picnic, etc. My favorite spot to park is by the playground/skateboard area and then do a loop around. There's also a forested hiking trail if you want to wander around a forest without any serious elevation gain. 4. The whole place is spotless and lovingly maintained. If you're swinging through Providence and want your fill of nature, definitely recommend this park.

Let's cover the basics of the sanctuary with it being free and having nine miles of trails broken up into small pieces with most being 1/3 of a mile here and 6/10 there. www.massaudubon.org/places-to-explore/wildlife-sanctuaries/allens-pond#guidelines www.massaudubon.org/places-to-explore/wildlife-sanctuaries/allens-pond/trails I think like most people, we went to the parking lot off of Horseneck Road at the Field Station Entrance. It's a very small lot with maybe 7 legit parking spaces and the rest of us were being squirrely in the grass and along the fence line. We did some of the Quansett Trail before seeing that it was a complete mud bog which equaled a double back to the Beach Loop Trail which did not have such terrain issues. Probably about 7 or 8 people out on the rocks mostly enjoying the sun on an abnormally warm Saturday in mid-March. We probably put in a good two hours watching the spiders on the beach and rocks, looking around the tidal pools (it was low tide) and just enjoying the overall beauty of Buzzards Bay. This was a 100% accidental find and overall, the only regret I have is not knowing about the sanctuary in advance so that more of a plan could have been made to have covered more ground. Next time.

The walk we took along the marsh was on a dirt road, plenty wide and mostly even. There are informational signs along the way including one at the pathway leading to the beach. Once on the beach, is another sign about nesting birds. No pets are allowed in that area. This is a wonderful spot to get outside in nature, listen to the surf, smell the sea, get some exercise and learn a bit about conservation of local flora and fauna.
