    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!

    This is the beach I grew up going to and I still love it. This is more of a family oriented beach…read morethan a party spot. The beach has two sides, the ocean front one and a more protected inlet. The protected area has very gentle waters and is great for little kids. Each summer you see kids having a blast with their fishing nets and building sand castles. There is even a snack bar by this beach which is great and super convenient for grabbing a bite to eat. Parking costs are steep during the peak season if you don't own property and can't pick up a resident sticker for your car. One week of parking is $75 or $20 a day for non-residents. There are 2 bridges to access this beach, one by the parking lot and the other on a nearby side street. One negative to this beach is the portapotties, but it's better than nothing.
