Regular season operations have ended for the Beach Dept. Details about access and services moving forward are listed below:
- Beach parking lots are unlocked and open to the public, without parking stickers being checked or daily fees collected.
- No beaches will have parking attendants or lifeguards until May 2025
- Portable toilets will remain on-site until November/December, though the number of units at each beach will decrease in early October.
- The 3 Bathhouses at Old Silver and Surf Drive will be closed until 2025, with the exception of special events with already-approved permits.
- Beach concessions will remain open at the discretion of the vendors through the last weekend of September.
- Trash and recycling will continue to be collected by DPW staff.
- Water wheelchair reservations are suspended until 2025.
- The Ellen T. Mitchell Bathhouse offices are closed until 2025. Questions and concerns normally brought forward by phone should instead be sent via e-mail to beach@falmouthma.gov.
- As water temperatures remain above 70° and patrons may encounter jellyfish in Falmouth waters, we recommend the following procedure for treating stings with mild symptoms: (1) rub wet sand on the site of the irritation (2) rinse (3) apply vinegar or meat tenderizer (4) repeat as necessary. If you have a more serious allergic reaction, seek professional medical attention.
This summer was one to remember, and we wish all residents/taxpayers/visitors of Falmouth health and safety in the off-season.
