About the Sampsons Island Wildlife Sanctuary
Sampsons Island Wildlife Sanctuary is a beautiful park and tourist attraction located in Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States. This sanctuary is part of the undeveloped Sampsons Island/Dead Neck barrier beach system, just off the Cape Cod mainland. It is home to a variety of bird species, including piping plovers, least terns, and common terns, which nest on the island's beaches, tidal flats, and salt marsh. Because of its importance as a bird habitat, Sampsons Island has been designated as an Important Bird Area.
Managed by Mass Audubon Cape Cod and Coastal Waterbird Program, this sanctuary offers limited access to the island's beaches on the Cotuit Bay side during spring and summer. Other beaches on the island are closed to boats and pedestrians to protect the nesting areas of the birds. Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of the island and observe the diverse bird species that call it home.
Don't miss the opportunity to explore Sampsons Island Wildlife Sanctuary and experience the wonders of nature. Mass Audubon is a nonprofit organization that manages the sanctuary and works to protect wildlife and habitats across Massachusetts. Your support and donations help ensure the conservation of these precious natural areas.

Reviews of Sampsons Island Wildlife Sanctuary
"We anchored out boat in about 5 feet of water and hung out in the water for a little while. The water was super calm and warmer than expected. Only part of the beach is open to the public, so look out for the signs and the rangers."
"Listen to the rangers! It's private property and only one section of beach is open to the public! Save the piping plovers!"
"Great secluded beach to enjoy the summer and swim in. Just respect the wildlife and stay out if the grass."
"Shutting the water off at beach house"
"Nice place to anchor up for a swim call. A bit crowded on the weekends."
