Recently visited with my family. We found the beach to be very clean and well kept. The sand is fine and white. We felt this beach was one of the best beaches we have been to in our travels.

Absolutely beautiful beach. Easy access, free parking and not crowded. And handicap accessible. Although there is only one HC spot. There should be a few more.

Poverty Beach can turn on during Noreasters. Also can be hazardous shore-breaky board-breaky ankle-breaky. Most fun i think is solid ground swell on incoming high in offshire winds. Poverty just a blow the mind...
