Check EventsIt depends on the UV index and your skin. Our conditions page converts today's hourly UV forecast at Singing Beach into minutes to burn using the standard erythemal dose model, so instead of "UV 9" you get "unprotected fair skin burns in about 18 minutes", along with the strongest stretch of the day and when to reapply. Open sand and water reflect UV back at you, so the estimate includes a beach uplift.
Check Today's Burn TimeIt depends on when. Dogs are allowed from October 15 through April 14 and banned from April 16 through October 14. The town page gives the spring end date as both April 15 and April 14, so treat April 15 as uncertain. Dogs may be off leash under effective verbal control with the dog always in sight, two per person maximum, collared with identification, licensed and vaccinated. Fine: $10 first offense, $25 for each after. Source: Town of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Singing Beach rules and regulations, checked 2026-09-09.
