There are too many memories to mention. All fabulous! This is basically a private neighborhood beach run by the Point of Pines Beach Association. The Association is funded by donations from the residents.. Gor anyone that's lucky enough to live in the Point of Pines being on this Beach should double the value of your home as it's like you're in Cape Cod year round. If you know anyone that lives in this neighborhood make sure that you make your way down here this summer and enjoy your day at the beach. FYI there is absolutely no street parking at all what so ever.. consider yourself warned. Tickets are hefty I give Point of Pines Beach a Solid 5 Stars

Canoe Beach is rated number one if you love the ocean and rocks this is the place to come…read more The beach is very small with the feel of being on a tropical island. Both sides of the small sandy beach are very rocky almost Cliff like. This is the type of beach if you want to get away from everything and everybody it's definitely the place to hide out for a day and enjoy Mother Nature. If you like to explore bring some really good rock climbing shoes as the rocks are slippery and dangerous make sure you do not climb alone. Remember if you do not have a resident parking sticker there is absolutely no parking for blocks and blocks however with a resident sticker there are seven parking spots that's right only seven. If you're lucky enough to come here you can enjoy the view from four park benches located on the grassy area overlooking the beach. For the dog lovers please leave your loved ones at home as no dogs are allowed on this beach it is strictly enforced. I love Canoe Beach as it is one of the last beaches on the North Shore that you can count on nobody being there when you arrive. You will have a private beach all to yourself. So please remember if you plan on climbing on the rocks have somebody with you because they are slippery and dangerous. This is a great beach to enjoy a sunrise or sunset. The local police usually will not bother you on during a sunrise but they will ask you to leave as the sun sets especially if you're parked illegally. Canoe Beach easily gets awarded 5 Stars ‼

I love this beach and it is my favorite beach in New England. The beach is impeccably clean…read morebecause most of it is maintained by private beach associations. The sand is beautifully fine and soft, unlike many of the rocky beaches in New England. I have passed out a great number of times in this sand with a hangover... nothing feels better when working off a night of drinks. Leave your boogie board at home, because there are no waves at this beach. It is wonderful to walk this beach. It is about a mile and a half from end to end. At low tide you can walk over to Wingaersheek beach and head out on the sand bar. Just be sure to make it back relatively quick since the tide comes in fast. The water doesn't get deep fast. In fact at low tide you have to walk very far out to get over your waist. This is really good for small children, but it can get annoying for grown ups who just want to cool off and not walk a half mile to get deep enough. There is also no undertow at all and this is also great to keep kids from getting swept out to sea. The beach is not crowded at all since the people that come are mainly residents and vacationers and there is no public parking. What you lack in eye candy is made up by not having to listen to other people's pain in the ass kids. If you do have some brats nearby, there is tons of room to move your stuff to. There are no concession stands, public parking, public access or lifeguards, but there is peace, beauty and quiet. The only warning is that like other beaches beside salt marches, the beach gets green head flies from the first full moon in July until the first full moon in August. For some reason between those two full moons... these huge vampire flies infest the Gloucester and Ipswich beaches. If you forget your bug spray, you might as well leave... they suck that much and they can ruin a trip for the unprepared. They are the most painful bitches that will have even the most reserved cursing like Ralphie in the Christmas Story... they are relentless just like horseflies but the bite is more painful.

Coffin's beach is almost 2 miles of white fine powder sand - surrounded by beautiful white sand…read moredunes. It is a very flat beach and when the tide goes out the beach is well over 500 feet deep and it exposes a large multi acre submerged rock (called Bald Rocks) where kids and adults alike can explore and find lobster, crabs, star fish, sea urchins, sea clams, horseshoe crabs. The beach is so vast and expansive you can literally sit 100 yards away from the next person if you so choose. Parking is an issue - but you can park at the next door public beach Wingaersheek and walk over the rocks that separate the private beach from the smaller public beach. At low tide you can walk in the sand. Sand bars allow you to walk out 100's of yards at low tide and be in only waist deep water. This beach is very kid friendly as there is no real current and no rip tide. Access in and out are limited so that a child who isn't being watched has little opportunity to leave the vicinity. Overall I would say this is the best beach I have had the opportunity to visit and it's a hidden treasure as few people other then the local residents use this natural wonder. Another thing to see is the 1000's of sand dollars which are easy to find at low tide - especially in the sprint and early summer before the tourists and summer residents collect them! Just be sure not to take the black ones as they are still alive!

Eliot Circle is actually a rotary at the very beginning of Revere Beach on the Winthrop side…read more It's an extremely small rotary compared to larger ones like Bell Circle the largest in the country. Unlike most rotaries Eliot is located on the shore so it has parking spots available it also has benchs available for viewing the ocean and grassy areas for picnics. It also has a small stretch of sea wall which is great to sit upon and of course America's first public beach Revere Beach is right there. The parking is free There is no entrance fee the grassy area is benches and beach all have no admission. This is a nice quiet end of the beach great for starting a bicycle ride or a measured walk. This is also the only area along all 3 miles of Revere Beach that has trees for shade. This is a great Area of the beach to pull up a chair and spend the day as there are venues within a block away very convenient also the bathhouse is about a block or two away. Definitely take a peek next time you visit Revere Beach.

My favorite part of the beach! This is where I sit when visiting! So quiet and peaceful!!!read more

Crystal Cove is a small cove housing a few moorings, the ferry, a yacht club and Snake Island as…read morewell as the public launch ramp. I absolutely love this place. The cove is a great area to kayak or use small personal flotation type devices as well as small craft since there is virtually no current in the cove. I've enjoyed my kayak here many times all were great fun with no complications. There is a small island not to far out called Snake Island which is fun to row out to and relax for a spell. If you want to enjoy this awesome little cove you can take advantage of the huge public parking lot located at the Coast Guard Station/Ferry. I believe it costs $5.00 to use the ramp. You can also relax here as there are many park benches outlining the parking lot to enjoy the views. FYI, this location is the very very best spot to take in the Boston Skyline, Plane taking off and landing at Logan and beautiful sunsets over the Marina. Oh and you can reach this spot by public transportation if need be. If your not afraid of the elements, the parking lot and benches are pretty much empty this time of year and everything looks more beautiful in the crisp air. Pack yourself a lunch, or some hot coco and enjoy a sunset. I give Crystal Cove a Solid 5 Stars.
