I love this beach because it serves my purpose of laying out and getting a tan. I don't have to deal with tons of people and the beach and water are pretty decent for its location. Parking is costly though, this year (2002) is $15 unless you want to try your luck parking in the 2 hour slots and hope not to get a ticket. Commuter rail runs right by the parking, so that's good.
Pros: nice sand, not too far from city, less crowded
Cons: parking expensive
