Ocean Bluff (02065) and Brant Rock (02020) contain six public beaches: Sunrise Beach, Ocean Bluff Beach, Rebar Beach, Brant Rock Beach, Blackman's Point, and Bluefish Cove. All of these beaches, as well as the rest of the Marshfield seashore from Green Harbor village to Rexhame village, were once known by the name of "Marshfield Beach". In 1832, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts ruled in the case of Briggs Thomas v. Inhabitants of Marshfield, 13 Pickering 240, that Rexhame Beach as well as all of the rest of "Marshfield Beach" was a "common", open for use by all members of the public. During the summer time, especially along Sunrise Beach and Ocean Bluff, skim boarding and surfing is very popular among locals. Ocean Bluff locals have made a name for their neighborhood and home beach down the east coast, competing in skim contests.
