The water at this beach is warm and crystal clear, making it feel like a slice of heaven. Additionally, the sand is light and there are pebbles scattered throughout. It's worth noting that the parking lot is small, but that shouldn't deter you from visiting this beautiful spot.

This is a seaside destination that offers a restricted number of parking spots, but it's a fantastic location to witness the stunning sunset in late April or any other time of the year. Savor the moment and take pleasure in the majestic views!

As a family-friendly destination, Stony Beach boasts a serene atmosphere that is perfect for relaxation and bonding. With a vigilant lifeguard on duty, parents can rest easy while their little ones frolic in the relatively calm waves. The sand bars offer a safe and gradual entry into Buzzards Bay, making it an ideal spot for wading and exploring. Additionally, the jetties provide a protective barrier for the small but charming beach. For me, this beach holds a special place in my heart as my grandmother's house is located right on its shores.
