Another great thing about Salisbury Beach State Reservation is that you’re only a short drive from Hampton Beach, which is one of the most popular beaches in New Hampshire (see interesting places to visit in New Hampshire).
Crane Beach
Crane Beach is easily one of the most popular beaches in Massachusetts, which isn't surprising as it boasts grassy areas and stunning sand dunes great for hiking!
Crane Beach is located in the north coast in Ipswich, so you do expect cold waters here too. However, the shoreline and scenery is so pristine that it really makes up for the chilly waters. You're also allowed to walk your dog on a leash.
Crane Beach also boasts many beach amenities and hosts a fun sand sculpture competition in the first week of August.
Singing Beach
Singing Beach is located in Manchester by the Sea and it’s one of the top beaches in Massachusetts where you can enjoy a relaxing Sunday afternoon!
Singing Beach is fairly long car ride from Boston, though it’s easily accessible by commuter rail, which takes the hustle out of driving!
