Salt Marsh Exploration at Duxbury Beach

Most beachgoers head straight for the surf and never look back, but the salt marsh at Duxbury Beach is where the real action is. On this guided exploration, step off the sand and into one of the most productive ecosystems on the Atlantic Coast, searching for the crabs, insects, fish, and wildlife that depend on the marsh for food, shelter, and breeding. Learn how salt marshes buffer storms, reduce flooding, filter water, and support coastal communities in ways that are almost impossible to replace, and why protecting them matters more than ever. It's a walk that changes the way you see the beach every time you visit. Mass Audubon is grateful for the generosity of the Duxbury Beach Reservation Inc. for funding this program and for their service and dedication to protecting the critical resource we know as Duxbury Beach.
