"I am particularly fond of this beach, particularly during the early hours of the morning when the sun is just about to rise, casting a warm glow over the horizon that is tinged with shades of pink. It is truly a sight to behold and never fails to fill me with a sense of awe and wonder. ❤❤❤"

"This Massachusetts beach is truly one of the best! The sand is finely textured and much less rocky than other nearby beaches. It's perfect for leisurely strolls and taking in the breathtaking views. There are several portable toilets available at the entrance areas for convenience. The $10 parking fee is definitely worth it, in my opinion. The beach is quite long, which help..."
