Years ago, this beach was like a well kept secret. Now the secret is out. It's become quite popular now. Advise getting there early as parking becomes an issue. Also a note to families, this beach is primitive, with no bathrooms or food stands for the kids. Bring your food and drink with you.

This beach can get super crowded during peak times during the summer but in the second week of Sept we had the beach practically to ourselves & parking was a breeze! It's the biggest beach on the island & perfect for really long walks. The sand is super fine, white & soft, not like the beaches on Cape Cod.

Beautiful beach with deep sand. Lots of people - young and older and families. We'd make the trip again. A lovely... More

This is your classic New England beach. Flat, great sand, calm surf. Walk a bit north for an adventure in tidal pools. You can sit here all day and watch the ferries and other boats arrive and depart from the island if that is your thing. Easy access from the parking lot, but no services, though it looked like you...
