Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 1780369, member: 153"] Some of the beaches I visited this summer that I liked: 1. Misquamicut during the week (it wasn't crowded, the sand was beautiful), water was warm, and the waves were rolling in. 1A. Watch Hill: went to beach by the Carousel, got bored and headed to Misquamicut. 2. Second Beach, Newport: day after Misq, smaller more frequent waves, really fine sand that was a pain in the butt (just gets everywhere), but really nice beach overall. 3. Horseneck Beach, Westport, MA on a weekend: beautiful beach and scenery, coarse sand and fine pebbles, I liked it, but regulars said it gets typically windy on that point (not much wind that day). 4. Old Silver Beach, Falmouth: we were on a private beach, empty of people, but the sand was beautiful, but the water really calm. 5. Plum Island Beaches: giant beaches with huge dunes and nice sand, good walking beaches. Water isn't as cold as the cape around Provincetown, etc. Up near the canal, the beach is spectacular and so is the swimming, but you get a whiff of gas from the boats too often. Lower down near all the homes and the national preserve, the water gets deep quickly and loses its charm for children. 6. Hammonasset Beach in Madison: it is just fine, water is murky though. Went on a weekday. Nice waves. [/QUOTE]
