Hey, thanks for reminding me about that!! I'm training for the Save the Bay swim in July and that is where I'm going to go to practice. No waves, warmer than the ocean side, and close enough to the beach bars to wash down the salt water![/quote]

well maybe I'll see ya there

Long in Gloucester is my personal favorite

Nauset or Hammonasett in Connecticut. There is a great place for shore dinners on the Boston Post Road near Hammonasett. The towns on either side are harbor towns, but that town is a town with about 6 miles of beach. YOu can see across the Sound to eastern Long Island.
Favorite harbor town though is Old Stonington CT which still has a real fleet. Parking there is a pain, however. These are all off the I-95 or you can take a train. Get off at Old Saybrook or Waverly RI.
Sandwich Beach on the Cape, too. the water is actually warm.

Hampton is nice if you want to park and walk the strip.....

I love Seabrook but there are NO public facilities or non-resident parking that I'm aware of. Extended family has a place there where they let us park and use their bathroom.

Hampton is kind of honky-tonk but has a good sandy beach that doesn't disappear at high tide (like North Hampton). Decent public facilities and plenty of places to get food. Parking is getting expensive!

As a child we often went to "Short Sands" York, ME. Narrow beach but good facilities.

In all of the above options the water is FREAKIN' COLD most days. A warn day at Hampton the water will be 72 degrees, most days it's in the 60s.

Rye Beach in NH, The Bluffs and Mansion Beach on Block Island, Nauset on the Cape.

if i'm at home....plum island reservation, when the green heads are gone. if they are out, we go to hubby's hometown of rockport.

when we are at the cape house in e.orleans, NAUSET!!!! or any outer cape beaches.

we used to live in manchester and always went to singing beach. it's a nice beach but i like beaches that you can walk on for miles.

I like to go to Wallis Sands beach in Rye, NH.

For those that are fans............I was at Singing Beach today!

Sand Beach, Acadia National Park, Maine



and, for the 'soundtrack', Little Hunters Beach on Acadia (waves on stones...almost as good a sound as breakers at Nags Head)

I took my dad sailing up around Gloucester by Wingarsheek Beach for Father's Day which is one of my all time favorite beaches - anywhere. Just wondering, since Great Woods is right around the corner, what my fellow Parrot Heads thought about their favorite New England Beaches? I hope Hampton Beach, New Hamshire makes the list.

I hate Hampton Beach. Try Weiss Sands Beach in Rye, about 10 miles north on the right from Hampton Beach after the Genness State Beach.

I only go to Hampton because of the kids (teenagers!). I thought it was much cleaner than in the past. There is stuff to do there. The Casino had lots of good shows this year.
Block Island is my favorite!! Oh wait...I love Horseneck too!!

not a fan of the Connecticut beaches......Nauset is nice.......also Calhoun in Wellfleet........Craigville i like.......also the one in Hyannisport near the Kennedy compound!!!
