This particular beach seems to elicit varied responses from visitors. Personally, I have a fondness for it, as it is conveniently located near my home and boasts impressive waves. Occasionally, there may be a surplus of seaweed, though this is not uncommon at any beach. The only drawback to this beach is the abundance of rocks, which is simply a natural occurrence.

The beachfront park is impeccably kept and offers a great value for Massachusetts residents during the week. To pay for parking, you'll need a card to use the convenient ATM-style machine. While the area we visited had more stones than sand, there are other sections that may be more sandy. Outdoor showers and modest changing rooms are located nearby, while the bathrooms feature eco-friendly composting toilets. As for dining options, it all depends on whether food trucks are present.

I have an immense fondness for this beach every time I visit. The presence of attentive lifeguards is reassuring, and the opportunity to soak up the sun and acquire a lovely tan is delightful. It's heartwarming to witness individuals relishing the sunny day and each other's company. Overall, it's a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it. 😀 😊 (6/30/2022)

What a splendid opportunity to bask in the glory of Mother Nature! The sun is shining, the waves are crashing, and the sand is oh so inviting. It's the perfect day to frolic in the great outdoors and soak up some vitamin D. Don't let this moment pass you by, seize the day and make some unforgettable memories on the beach.
