Nice small beach."

Megansett Beach

10 Sam D.

This is an amazing beach that I've been visiting for as long as I can remember and it's just perfect. It's not too crowded and doesn't attract too many tourists because you need a sticker to park here, but you can park for free across the street. You can jump off the dock and fish from various spots, keeping you entertained all day long. It's the perfect spot to escape the crowds and enjoy a local beach.
