    Clean sand, clear water, beautiful sky. No filter.

    Humarock is one of my favorite beaches. It is private so it's basically lined with people renting houses for the summer. Be prepared to park at someone you know's house or walk a bit -- I believe there are some paid parking options but Idk the details because I've never had to pay to park there. It is very serene and clean. The water is GORGEOUS and very clear and clean. The sand is very soft and supple. I find Humarock extremely relaxing for a day of tanning and swimming. There tend to be wide pockets between people/families so you have a lot of space and privacy to enjoy your day.

    Short stretch of private beach between boston and the Cape. Not much public parking keeps the beach clear for the owners. Love it

    A great place to go to the beach for maybe a day trip or if you are just looking to get out of the house

    Can't they take the "rock" out of Humarock? It's hard to find a patch of sand anywhere close to high tide...

    Humarock's a great beach, the only decent one in Scituate. There's a store and facilities. Very little parking though for outsiders.

    Most of the beach is private along central Ave but they do have a public parking area and beach area.

    If you're looking for a secluded hidden gem along North River, boy do I have the spot for you!!…read moreIt's called Couch Beach... not sure as to why, but if I had to guess it's because its quiet, quaint and cozy... a place you can relax and enjoy the moment, just like being at home on the couch! Couch beach can be found by entering Twomile Cemetery. There is a small dirt parking lot on the right a little further back on the right hand side. From that little parking lot it's about a 10 minute walk down a dirt trail that is gated off. Don't let it scare you off, it's just stating that motor vehicles aren't allowed... your bikes and feet are welcome to pass through. Once you get back to the beach area you'll see there are some trails, a seating and picnic table area, and a small sandy beachfront. It would be a great place to put a standup paddle board or kayak in the water, however it might be a bit of a hike with it to get there since you'd have to carry it from the parking lot that again is about 10 mins away (maybe about 1/3 of a mile). However, pack up that fishing gear and beach chairs, those are easy to carry and the perfect spot for it. The lake water doesn't seem as clear or clean as the ocean might, but it is beautiful and much warmer! The views here are spectacular and just lovely. Feels like the perfect day date spot, a girlfriend day of reading & rose, or just a place to unwind alone. Highly recommend if you are in the area or fairly close by and looking for a lower trafficked beach area to enjoy!

They rent a…read morevariety of housing options: parking sites for RV's, as well as tent sites, for which they have public facilities (which are closed during the pandemic for safety reasons). They also have a laundromat on site. There are a few studio efficiencies, no stoves in these but there are decks on both the front and back, so you can catch the sun rise over the ocean, and sunset over the river. Charcoal grills are available in the yard; you provide the charcoal and maybe some aluminum foil for the grill. There are several two bedroom houses and a few 3 bedrooms. The houses have full kitchens. We usually bring plenty of food: prepared if we are staying in an efficiency so we can heat them up in the microwave. The kitchens have a table large enough for the number of guests each house sleeps. The living room has sofa's, comfy chair, end tables, coffee table and TV. In the summer there are fans. In the winter there is a gas fireplace. Most everything you would need in the kitchen is provided: plates, cups, flatware, coffee maker, toaster, pans, spatula for cooking, mixing bowl, cutting board, etc. It's often mismatched, but it's all there. Sometimes there are a couple of wine glasses too. I usually bring a few items of my own, like my coffee cup, just because I prefer my own, as well as storage items like aluminum foil or plastic storage bags and paper towels. If I haven't pre-prepped food I plan to cook, I'll bring my own chef's knife as those are not provided. Basically anything I want to be sure of, I bring. They provide dish towels, sponge and dish soap. The bathroom has soap and toilet paper. The office provides sheets and towels. The guests are required to clean before leaving: sweep floors, vacuum carpets, wash dishes and put them away, strip the beds. The staff will clean the restrooms and leave new linens for the next guests. Towels can be delivered daily if needed. Just call the office. The cliff face is eroding and some of the RV parking spots have fallen into the ocean as has the roadway, which once made a loop along the cliff, creating two dead-end streets. The beach on the river side is stones that have been placed there to help reduce erosion. If you walk toward the river on the left side of this beach (it's a 'cove beach'), the area becomes more sandy. If you continue around to the left, you can walk along the river and marshlands. There are picnic tables 'here and there' provided by 4th cliff. We sometimes bring our coffee down here in the early mornings. Additionally, you can walk along the beach, around the end of the cliff, to the ocean side of the property. Once you get past the cliff face, the beach is sandy, although there may be a number of rocks in the water. Because of the rockiness of the beach areas in general, do bring your water shoes to save your toes. This ocean facing beach is used by homeowners along Central Ave. and there is plenty of space for everyone. At low tide, you can wander around the rocky areas and find all kinds of sea creatures in among the stones. The recreation area includes a small shop in the office building for things you may have forgotten and souvenirs, however, during the pandemic, the office is not open to guests. If you are military, this is a pleasant spot for a vacation along the water. Located in the little village of Humarock, within Scituate, there is a small restaurant where Central Ave meets Marshfield Ave. You can grab a morning coffee, breakfast or lunch here. A small 'beach shop' to get the floats, souvenirs and other things you may want is locate across the street on the other side of the intersection (think diagonally). Access to the public beach is here, however parking is not abundant, so maybe bring your bikes and take the ride down if you'd like to use this beach access. There is an Irish pub just a little further along on Marshfield Ave and a larger restaurant on the other side of the bridge where Marshfield Ave turns into Sea Street. (Check their policy during Covid - they may be 'take out' only) There is a convenience store/liquor store in this area. A grocery store is on Rt 139 at the intersection of Furnace St. And if those restaurants are not enough for you, drive into Scituate for one of the many food options they have available. We also make it a point to stop for a walk at one of the many Audubon or conservation areas nearby. There is a lighthouse in Scituate, and a marina on the North River where you can stop for a beverage and light meal while sitting outdoors on the river if that appeal to you. Plenty to keep you busy.
