    Very nice family beach. $30 parking fee (I'm from NH). Large tidal pools for the kids to explore…read more Beach area is very nice-no waves, so the little kids can swim in the ocean. The water is sparkling clean. We enjoyed a beautiful beach on a beautiful day in August. Would not hesitate to return.

    This beac h is honestly really good for little kids, or those who may be a bit fearful of the…read moreactual ocean. There's a large tidal pond attached to Nantucket Sound in the beginning of the beach where you'll find most the large families or most with small children. The little pond is shielded from the Sound by dunes and vegetation. It's shallow and definitely warmer than the actual ocean. Another plus is that it has no waves. The down side however of it is when the temperature is really hot or the sun beats on it for too long....it smells. Bad. Almost like sewage. I'm pretty sure it's due to the seaweed in/around the water getting "cooked" from the sun but still....We only lasted there a few minutes with my daughter because it was so bad. I don't know how other families were tolerating it! We sat near the lifeguard station the past two times we went. It was a great area to sit because there weren't too many families around us and we had a straight shot down to the water. The biggest problem of this beach.....the seagulls. They're honestly assholes. Stealing food from your bags and from your HANDS. I felt like I needed to be on high alert whenever my daughter had a snack. I'll be damned if a bird tried to take something from her. I know seagulls are at beaches everywhere but these ones here seemed worse than usual!! Pricing wise it can definitely add up if you're not careful. $75 for the week or $20 a day for non residents. There's also a food stop and little store at the beginning of the beach. Typical overpriced food items, though the items in the store were decently priced! My daughter loved their cookie dough ice cream!
