Please refer to our seasonal calendar. Updates for South Beach closures (weather or private events) and daily hours of operation live here.
*Please note: While we hope for sunny days and warm weather throughout the summer, we unfortunately cannot control Mother Nature.
Hale has the right to close the beach (full day, delayed opening, or early closure) for the following reasons:
Extreme weather that is unsafe for neighbors and staff
If the weather is under 70 degrees Fahrenheit
If at any time throughout the season, we cannot safely staff the waterfront
Any closures will be updated on the calendar, via our Facebook page, and e-mail.
Hale's South Entrance is located next to 573 Dover Road, Westwood. From Rte. 109 in Westwood, it's located exactly one mile past Carby Street. South Beach cannot be accessed by car from Hale's main entrance.
Beach Car Decals—Car decals for the beach are issued at the South Beach Guard Shack during your first trip. Decals must be attached and displayed on the driver’s side of the car or on the back window. Please note that beach car decals are different from parking pass decals for 80 Carby Street.
Checking In—When you arrive, check in with the gate attendants. If no one is at the gate, please check in at the guard shack on the beach.
