"Great place to go"
"Best. Just best spot. My happy place."
"Not as good as 4"
"It's terrible to drive to so no one goes. Nice quiet beautiful."
"One of the smaller parking lots at the park, proximal to the Sandy Point parking lot at the end of the road. Beautiful drive past salt marshes, then the road becomes gravel. A bit dusty if there's lots of traffic, so go slow and be mindful. Room for about a dozen cars, and it fills up fast. Nice boardwalk through the dunes to the beach. The beach is great- unguarded, serene and pristine. Plum island is wonderful."
