User reviews
"I have the best childhood memories of this beach. Unfortunately, it has eroded over time, and the houses have fallen apart. However, it is still beautiful during the winter when there are no people around. You can still take a stroll on the remaining beach and enjoy the gorgeous views."
Nora Zane
"This place near Matunuck Beach on the Bay is really nice. We had a great time hanging out with friends and the seafood restaurants in the area are fantastic. We're planning to come back in August."
