This beach is perfect for families and a wonderful place to witness the sunrise. During the off season, it's a great spot to let your pup run around and feel the sand beneath their paws!

We were fortunate to visit during the off season, and the signs in the parking lot indicated that a specific pass was required - a common occurrence in New England. We're not sure when the off season is. The beach was narrow but had plenty of sand for recreational activities, and the views were lovely.
