About this place Horseneck beach

Horseneck Beach in Westport, Massachusetts, is a family‑friendly state beach that quietly draws gay men to its far end every summer. The beach sits on the south coast, just a stone’s throw from the Rhode Island line. It’s a standard public state beach, so the rules are the same as any other: no nudity, and a parking fee during the high season. Since the 1970s the far‑right stretch has been an informal gay section. On hot weekend afternoons it fills up with men from the region, a quiet tradition that has survived for decades. Reaching the section takes a short walk along the sand from the main parking lots. Facilities are only at the entrance, so bring plenty of water, a shade umbrella, and a towel.
