a decent sized city in Dutchess County in New York given a horrible reputation by people outside of Beacon. It is a historical site, and once was a center of industry in new york, particularly in the hat making business with the Mattewan family.
Today, it is surrounded by Fishkill and Newburgh, both much less desirable places to live. Most of the activity in the city takes place on Main Street, which runs from the Fishkill creek to Rt.9. the schools are small, but have a lot to be desired, such as a working security dept. there is quite a marijuana and tobacco smoking problem in the city, particularly of adolescents in the school system. These crackheads in training take one step outside of the schools and smoke right next to the schools property and police on stand by who wont do a damned thing about it.
Beacon has several nice areas, but you have to sift through the rest, like the riverfront and east main, which are horrible areas to be caught in.
all in all, if you can sift through the bullshit, Beacon is a pretty nice albeit underrated area in Dutchess County

A small city located in the northern suburbs of NYC. Also called the tree-city, it has many art gallerys and restaurants. Some people say the people in Beacon "hate gays and autistic people, and they only send their kids to Catholic schools..." but this is not true. Beacon is a very nice and welcoming city in which many people visit. Beacon is the almost polar opposite to newburgh which has many gangs and crimes. I love to walk around Main Street and visit the shops. And on the second Saturday of every month, all the gallerys stay open late and put out new items for display.
Hey dude, look at the top definition for Beacon on UD. It says we hate gays and we're super religious.-Matt

A mixed public school located in Surrey, England where the girls skirts are higher than their life expectancy, the teachers shag their students, the toilets are used as brothels, and the year 7s think they’re top of the school. The students are either suspiciously smart or can barely pick up a pencil. The teachers are certified nonces who don’t get paid enough and it shows. Most people fail their GCSEs because the grade boundaries are ridiculously high. The toilets look like they haven’t seen any kind of cleaning products since 1985 and to top it all of, the school is ran by a nosy elf who tries too hard and has personal space issues.
person 1: that kid just stole some crappy makeup from asda
person 2: probably goes to the beacon school

A person, usually female, that only attracts douchey men. Quite like a light house brings in ships from storms.
Man, that chick is really cool but she is such a douche beacon.
Guy 1: Why does that chick stay single all of the time, she's really cool.
Guy 2: She knows that she's a douche beacon, she has completely given up on dating.
