Pretty beach! We went in the off season so we didn't have to pay for parking and there was pretty much no one else around. Although it was a gray day, editing worked its magic and it looks like the most refreshing beach there is....Read More

It’s a pretty New England waterfront . Parking is bit pricey on Memorial Day weekend. I love the collection of colorful boats there.

Beach was pretty clean, people had a lot of unleashed dogs that kept running up to me and my child. Luckily all of the dogs were nice.

A wonderful and pristine beach where dogs can enjoy playing in the sand and water. The beach is exceptionally clean, and we hope it remains so with the collective effort of all visitors. It's conveniently located near town for a quick bite to eat afterward.

Off season this beach is wonderful for dogs! Since it was super nice out today there were a bit more people than normal but overall a great place for dogs to roam and play from October through April.
