Fort Phoenix State Reservation — Attraction in Fairhaven

Fort Phoenix has always been home to me as a child we walked miles to go to the beach I remember Mom used to say we can take a cab one way that's all we can afford so we would always choose to take a cab home because we knew we would be exhausted from playing all day I had a great time me and my companion dog buddy walked around four hours in the afternoon and as evening came people showed up with Unleashed Critters running around and yelping those were not dogs they were children LOL the thing that concerned me was I saw a little boy walking around and he looked lost I didn't approach him immediately for fear that someone might misunderstand my intentions but I did follow him with my eyes to make sure he was safe the further away from people he walked the more concerned I became so I got in my car and continued to watch him sure enough I heard some little girl screaming his name and then a mother running around frantically calling his name when I was about to say something to her I saw him start walking in her Direction and I knew at that point he was safe. People if you can't watch them and to you just shouldn't have them or have so many especially if you can't keep...

This is my favorite place to be on the weekend because it doesn’t take too long to get to it. There is no fee. It’s clean, diverse in the way of things to see or just chill out…always a fun crowd of ppl just looking to recharge. You have the beach (small but doable) rocks to climb (if you’re still a kid at heart) boats to watch coming and going…benches….ppl usually set up chairs and enjoy the insanely perfect breeze. Parking isn’t too bad and I come here often. It’s cute…the ride into the area is also architecturally stimulating as well. They seem to have functions nearby…the only draw back is that there is not bathroom unless you go down to the beach area and I don’t even know if there is a bathroom there…but I saw places to eat and maybe? I generally stay by the fort and canons themselves. This place is very near to perfect otherwise. 🫶 We went about 15mins away from here with my nephew and we got to see the Celtic Monument as well....

The ocean has alot of bigger rocks in it but the waves are great. At least they were today when we went. My children and myself always collect rocks from each beach we go to. There are some beautiful rocks there and when I say rock I mean small pebbles. We also found several pieces of sea glass of different colors. There are life guards on duty there until 5:30pm. Dogs are allowed! There are grills, picnic tables, a pavilion for large gatherings, and restrooms. The lifeguards lock the restrooms when they leave so if you gotta go you better go before they lock it. Fort Phoenix is open until dark. Fishing is allowed also. The view there is pretty beautiful and if you have never given this beach a try you should. Parking is even free. You really can't lose here unless seaweed freaks you out. Don't worry it's not an extraordinary...
