This is a great beach for families with young children!!!

It's a small beach with a playground across the parking lot. We were there in late August. It wasn't crowded & we happily spent the entire day there.

The water isn't deep & it's relatively flat for a long way out. Since it's essentially a harbor, the water isn't rough and was considerably warmer than at other nearby beaches.

The bathrooms were big and cleaner than I expected.

My children spent the afternoon catching (and releasing) hermit crabs and small fish. We even saw a few crabs scurrying about in the water. We watched the tour boats going past toward Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. We made sandcastles. We even enjoyed a picnic lunch.
