This year (2023), the new pricing structure will apply to anyone who visits Crane Beach without a Permit. It will not apply to anyone with an unexpired Permit; those Members will continue to enjoy permit privileges and will be able to book admission at no cost. Over the next year, we will phase out Crane Permits as they expire. As of May 2024, no active Permits will remain in circulation, and all summer-season visitors to Crane Beach will pay according to the pricing schedule set forth immediately above.
