I've been renting a house with family here for about 5 years and have grown to love it. My wife grew up coming here and dragged me along initially. Now I don't need to be dragged any more. This beach has it all, in terms of a huge wide stretch of sand and medium waves. Food options dot the strip across street from several small market/deli's to ice cream stands and fried seafood, and even a couple of sit down restaurants. The markets have beach toys and supplies, and there is a surf rental shop with lessons. The water is usually warm in July and August but can change on weather. There is a brand newly rebuilt bath house with clean bathrooms and some picnic tables coming. Parking is tight on street unless you're early, it is $2 per hour using CC machines. Across street some of the places charge $20 for the day. Be aware of the high tide, which fills almost the entire sand area on the beach except near the bath house area (mid beach). When low tide there is a massive beach to setup on. Canopies are allowed and usually setup along very back near seaweall. Advise strongly to look at a tide chart when planning trip. Also small children should be watched careful on sidewalk near seawall as there is non fence.

We love this small beach! Go early to get a spot since high tide makes it tight. Ample parking, walking distance to village treats, and clean public restrooms. When COVID was not an issue they also have a great playground.

A really fun and beautiful walk, especially on a crisp fall day. We walked from our B & B, the Inn at Tanglewood Hall, and going over the Wiggly Bridge and back through the nature preserve was a 4 mile round trip. An easy walk. The cliff trail was closed out of COVID concerns but easy to social distance on Fisherman’s Walk.
