It's officially summer, thank god! And likewise, New England is known for its beaches- and for a good reason! So if you're anything like me, that means you'll be living at the beach when you aren't at work!
We New Englanders love our beach days, especially after our New England winters. So, that means we have some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, with miles and miles of sand, salt, sun and a side of Iggy's Clam Shack, all summer long. Now it's your turn to be the judge, explore New England and see if you agree with me: here are the top five best beaches in New England. Happy sunbathing!
1. Mohegan Bluffs, Block Island, RI
"Sail away on the Block Island Ferry!" and enjoy the surrounding coastline with a drink in your hand! With its famous stairs and beautiful water, this beach is hands-down one of the best in New England. And if you've never been? Put it at the top of your list of beaches to visit this summer. It's a day trip or even a weekend trip for sure, but it'll be one to remember! And you won't be sorry that you went, I promise.
2. Sachuest Beach (2nd Beach), Newport, RI
Though it is in one of the most expensive places to visit, this beach offers miles of sand, trails and summer adventures. It can definitely get crowded on those hot summer days, but there's so much to do there and at nearby downtown to make this beach a must visit this summer.
3. Old Orchard Beach, Old Orchard Beach, ME
Not only is there a boardwalk and a small amusement park steps from the beach, but the beach itself is miles and miles of beautiful sand and clear blue water. Like many beaches, it can get pretty busy, seeing as it is a common place for both locals and vacationers, but it is worth the trip.
4. Scarborough Beach, Narragansett, RI
A local favorite. Not only is this beach in a prime location, but with its clear water and beautiful sandy beach, no wonder why it's always packed. So it's best to get there early. And bring your camera, because not only is this beach huge, but it's beautiful and there's plenty of prime photo spots to make any Instagram feed summer ready!
5. Crane's Beach, Ipswich, MA
It was voted Boston's best three years running, and with its four miles of soft, white sand, and a warm surrounding coastline perfect for swimming, it attracts beach goers from miles around. This beach is open year-round, so there is plenty of things to do to keep yourself busy. It's definitely a summer must.
Life is better at the beach.
