Nice little place to sit and enjoy a book. Safe place for kids to splash in the water but watch for boats. These pictures are from a foggy day in April. Not 5 stars because there is little parking.
Tiny beach in order to get there you must walkdown some stairs. On site a pretty non working windmill for display and scenic view. Their is limited parking and all in all a cozy spot. But I would not bathe on this beach, too many boats abound.
A hidden gem! Small beach with calm waters and soft sand. We were there on a Monday in September and it was quiet and relaxing. But can see that it would get busy in the summer.
I didnu2019t swim here as the tiny beach was too crowded at high tide but I did park my bike here to go for a run around the neighborhood. Very fun, family friendly spot with free parking.
A history filled stop off the beaten path on the Yarmouth shore of the Bass River. Wonderful views up and down the river, of Stage Island in the riveru2019s flow, and across the river to West Dennis Beach. Nice No Matter the Weather!
