Beach Access
The outer shore of North Beach is open to beach use by the public.  Access is via ORV (permit required) or by boat.  North Beach Island is open to beachgoers by boat only.  There are several local water taxi services.  South Beach is owned by the town of Chatham and open to the public. It can be accessed from Lighthouse Beach. 

Shorebird Nesting
Terns, plovers and other shorebirds generally begin to arrive on North Beach, North Beach Island, South Beach and Monomoy about April 1.  Once the birds nest, areas are general closed to both vehicles and pedestrians to prevent disturbance.  For information about vehicle closures due to nesting shorebirds, visit the Orleans park and beach department website or the town of Chatham website.  Mass Audubon's coastal waterbird program provides information about nesting shorebirds.  The Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge connects to South Beach at the tip of North Monomoy. Access to the refuge is restricted during shorebird nesting season.
