Operated by DCR, this is a beautiful beach at the end of the Parker River Wildlife Refuge. Open sunrise to sunset! Cell service is limited and patchy. It's a carry in carry out park. Three composting toilets are located in the parking lot, (two in the upper, one in the lower). There is no running water, so come prepared. Alcohol is prohibited as well as dogs, fires and smoking. Rangers and environmental police patrol regularly. There is an absolutely beautiful view of Little Neck, Great Neck and Crane beach in Ipswich! In the summer, parking is difficult. There is less than 50 spots, and parking on the road is prohibited. The trade off for this is that the beach is never crowded. The ranger communicates with the gate to relay parking availability, but people usually still drive down to try their luck. If you arrive after 8 or so...especially on hot days, be prepared to turn around or wait. The road where you wait is unshaded, and the wait can potentially be hours. Seals occasionally haul out to rest here and it's important to avoid harassing them and keep your distance. There are signs posted. This beach is also home to federally protected migratory shorebirds, terns and piping plovers throughout the summer. A lot of the beach is roped off for them to nest. You can't walk down the beach from Sandy Point (state property) onto Parker River National Wildlife (Federal property) during the summer because they close the entire beach for the bird's nesting season. Each property manages the birds a little differently. There's usually a Plover Warden supervising the area to prohibit trespassing.

If you want to feel like a BEAUTIFUL beach is ALL YOURS go out to Sandy Point. Parking is VERY limited for a good reason.....

A great alternative to Salisbury Beach! The parking fee is only $5, it's a lot less crowded, and the scenery is beautiful!

Beautiful place! It makes you feel like your one of the lucky ones to know about this "private" location.
