Being new to New England after a recent move from California, I didn't know what to expect and was really happy. The beach is beautiful and crowded but not too much so, plus the snack bar is a nice touch. The walk from town (where you can park on the street only if you get there after 10AM on a nice day) was about 15 minutes, but worth it.
Pros: scenic, good sand, location
Cons: cold water
