| Coastal Public Access Locator |
The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management has created an online mapping data viewer, which displays maps and site-specific information on more than 1,000 beaches, parks, conservation areas, and other waterfront properties open to the public and owned by government agencies and major nonprofit land conservation organizations. From the well-publicized expanses of National Seashore to the smallest footpaths and landings known only to the locals-the data viewer provides onscreen and printable descriptions about each property, including parking information, directions, photos, and a list of facilities. |
