History

OUR HISTORY

In 1901, a Universalist minister wandered into the wooded pine grove at Ferry Beach and knew it to be a magical place where people would gather together for centuries for rest, relaxation, reflection, and renewal. It was then that Ferry Beach came to existence, in 2026 we celebrate the monumental milestone of 125 years!

A Look through the 125 years of Ferry Beach!
