Paine's Creek Beach, Brewster

This place has a bit of everything. There's a traditional beach for lounging and swimming. There's a shallow area (during low tide) for playing water games. Our favorite part though was the salt water stream. It's full of fiddler crabs, green crabs, fish, and the occasional eel. It's great to explore with kids! Don't expect to find a parking spot though. Also, is you don't have a permit then it's $20 to park before 5pm.

This is my kids favorite beach in Brewster. It has character with the inlets and outlets, bridges, different depts for swimming even in low tide so it's not completely dry like the other bay area beaches. The swim area near the bridge is deep around 3-4 feet even on low tide so kids can swim all day until the tide gets high again. When the tide comes in this place is great for a natural lazy river and swimming! The layout and look of this beach is unique compared to the other beaches just being a wide stretch beach. After going to the other four beaches in Brewster, my kids still want to come here everyday. The parking is tiny so plan accordingly.
