6000 Miles of Sandy Beaches
You’ll Want to Come Again!
New England’s beaches have offered relaxation and recreation to locals and tourists for a long time. In Connecticut, you can head out to the East Norwalk’s Calf Pasture Beach. This beach has historic significance, since the British troops landed here during the American Revolution. Here you have a fishing pier, bocce courts, a baseball diamond, a skateboard park, and a restaurant.
In Portland, Maine, you have the Popham Beach State Park, which extends for three miles near Kennebec River. The Popham Colony was established by British settlers, who established the boat building tradition on the Kennebec River. You can view some lighthouses offshore, or walk to the Fox Island when the tide is low.
Moving on, Massachusetts has many beaches along it coastline. If you are travelling towards Northern Boston you can find the Good Harbor in Gloucester, the Singing Beach (named in accordance with its ‘noisy’ sand when you walk on it), and the Crane Beach in Ipswich, which has several fried clam restaurants nearby.
In New Hampshire, a popular spot is the Hampton Beach State Park, which is a great place for swimming and running, as well as for a little family time. In fact, this place also holds a Children’s Festival in August.
Rhode Island’s Newport is known as the ‘city by the sea’. The First Beach (Now Easton Beach) has the famous Save the Bay Exploration Center. There are also bumper boats, a playground, and an antique carousel.
Finally we have Vermont with its famous Lake Champlain. This lake, stretching over a 100 miles on its eastern shoreline is known as the west coast of New England.
So these are some of the best beaches in New England where people come to enjoy long summer days (along with delicious seafood and ice cream), and once you here, you always want to come again.
