The sandy shores of Jones Park are a stopover for birds all year long. Scan the sea and sky for gulls, ospreys, and terns in summer; in the winter, visit the park to watch for migratory ducks on the water.

Jones Park offers a sandy beach area, bathhouse, softball field, picnic tables, horseshoe pits, and playground equipment. Lifeguards and gate guards are on staff from the end of June through Labor Day. This site is open to the general public from 9 am to 5 pm year-round. Parking fees apply during the summer season. 

On the western shore of Clarks Cove in Dartmouth, sandy Jones Beach is a family-friendly destination for outdoor summer recreation. Local residents can enjoy the calm waters of Clarks Cove and the fresh air off Buzzards Bay at this town-owned beach and park.

Jones Beach’s main draw is its sandy shoreline on Clarks Cove. This sheltered cove is a great place for kids to splash and play in the waters of Buzzards Bay. Across the way, you can see views of Fort Taber Park and the Bay’s open waters.
