The South Shore is blessed with miles of sandy shoreline…champagne, pink, and red sand beaches are places to build sandcastles, dig for clams, go for a stroll, soak up the sun, do the back crawl, or bird watch.
The beaches listed here have several amenities, but if you happen to venture off the main track you may spot one of several secluded beaches – some that share their soft sand with rugged, red cliffs. The occasional local resident or seabird may also drop by for a visit, but there will always be lots of room to spread out.
