  Tucked in between the harbor and a beach with a little beach if it's own visible at low tide. Beautiful views of the Isles of Shoals and of a sweeping beach to the north. There are picnic tables but no grills. There are public restrooms on site but the smells are pretty intense in the men's room. We were here for a wedding and the setting was great and the event tent on site protected us from the sun. Best for those who want to sit and soak up the view, or walk on the jetty, but not best for those looking for a beach.

  Lots to pick from with freshly cooked seafood to booking your trip to Star Island. Clean public restrooms and Great Views!
