Committees: Trustees of the Bathing Beach

2011 Annual Report

The relationship between the Hingham Farmers' Market and the Hingham Bathing Beach continues. The Farmers' Market has a contract to use the Bathing Beach parking lot. The fee that they pay helps to defray the expenses of the Bathing Beach.

At the Special Town Meeting in October approval was given to issue a request for proposals for someone to renovate the bathhouse and operate a snack shop there. The snack shop operator would be responsible for maintaining the restrooms and showers. Special legislation is needed prior to offering a lease for the bathhouse. At this time, the legislation is pending.

The Trustees of the Bathing Beach have been meeting with various groups to best address the erosion problem at the beach. We hope to come up with a solution which will be environmentally correct and one which will preserve the beach and parking lot.
