At mid to low tide walk across to Salt Island . Take or wear some footwear though because the island is rocky

Mike Martin

Rented a VRBO walking distance from this beach . Visited this beach every day! Absolutely beautiful!

Tim Lyons

We were here on a Sunday around 3pm on an overcast day.. free! Maybe because of the overcast.. definitely recommend.

Gorgeous beach , with a great location. Close to downtown, but must come early to get a spot in the parking lot .

Jon Bishop

Life guards are tidal experts. Be sure to ask them when the tide is coming in for a safe trip over to salt island .

Dimitriy Marinov

One of the largest sand beaches on the northshore. Beginner waves for begginer surfers. iamdm3 rate 6 / 10

Amanda Parker

On really nice days get there early, it can get crowded fast and you could miss on on the good spots, or even a parking spot Read more

$20 for parking during the week. Even though between 8am - 10am it says &10 I don't believe sign is right since we got here just before 10am and still cost $20

Small but nice beach , crane beach in ipswich is still my #1 pick.

Watch out for the seagulls when you eat, they will swoop down and steal your food right out of your hands!!

Head over towards salt island and wade across. Lots of fun, but look out... the island is covered in poison ivy!

Come later in the day for cheaper parking and smaller crowds. We never arrive before 3 pm, and often not until 5.

If you don't want to pay for the parking don't come to the beach . Residents get turned away when its full. Not right.
