Changing booths, bathrooms & a little snack shack are a plus, including the nice staff who work there - lifeguards too 9-5. Parking fee per car is $30 so recommend spending the day at this small beach to take advantage of it all.

Great beach/fishing spot. Same $30 parking rate for out of staters as MA charges for residents at most beaches.

I enjoyed Gooseberry Beach. Very family oriented. There is a $30.00 parking fee to enter. No walk-on are allowed. There are male/female toilets and a cold shower to rinse off sand. Also, there is a stand where one could buy hotdogs, snacks, etc. Very friendly staff on site.
