Beaches
A small, sandy beach known to locals and family friendly. 20-30 minutes.
Directions- RIGHT out of my driveway, go to Englishtown ferry and cross.
Local directions after getting on Little River road: When you get to the wharf there will be a red building with a ton of lobster traps, pull in behind the traps and you will see cars parked. Walked towards the back corner near all the cars and there will be a sandy trail to the beach.
It it sort of hidden but a real treat.
