INDIAN NECK

Indian Neck is the ONLY area open to recreational (non-commercial) shellfishing during the summer (June 1^st to September 30^th).  Additionally, recreational shellfishing is ONLY allowed on Wednesdays and Sundays.  The Indian Neck area extends from the breakwater to the jetty just south of the Burton Baker Landing (the second one).

Indian Neck has much to offer for any level of experience in shellfishing.  The area is regularly stocked with quahogs (mostly littlenecks, but also some cherrystones and chowders for those who prefer the larger sizes) and supports small populations of soft shell clams and oysters.

Directions to Indian Neck: 

Turn left out of the Town Hall parking lot onto Main Street.  Follow this road all the way to the traffic light.  At the traffic light turn right onto Route 6.  Go 0.5 miles and turn right onto Cove Road.  Stay on this winding road until you reach the parking lot at the end.  Alternatively, park at Burton Baker Landing if spots are available or along the road just before the parking lot.
