The main attraction at this wonderful place is the sandy beach edged with marine grasses, but there are also forested walking paths and a great dock.
To access the beach and the trails, you can park at the parking area at the top of the beach-access road, Beach Drive, and do a longer walk through the woods, via the Stonewall Trail to Spears Trail to the water’s edge (0.8 miles), or head down more directly on the wheelchair-accessible (albeit a bit steep) trail and sidewalk to the ocean, about 0.5 miles.
Off to the right of this parking area are two walking paths that make small loops in the woods.
At the bottom of the beach-access road, going off to the right is a short mown loop that takes you through a delightful field.
You can also walk along the beach itself for a short ways until you reach a sign informing beach goers they’ve come to the end of town property.
Note: Dogs aren’t allowed on the beach.
Directions: The property is located in Cumberland Foreside on the east side of Route 88 near the intersection with Tuttle Road. A parking lot is located on the right side of Beach Drive just beyond the entrance.
