This beach is stunning.  There are wild rose bushes along the shore, and turquoise blue water.  There is a river canal running to the ocean which is fun to watch, and the beach is huge.  There isn’t that much parking at the state park, but there is a town beach with parking that you’ll see […]
There is no parking at all for this beach, so you either have to walk or bike here. Â This beach is part of the Cliff Walk trail that goes through 64 different private properties in Newport. Â It is a pretty beach, but hard to access. Â Dogs are allowed on the trail, but not on […]
This is a beautiful park with a huge beach and open swimming.  The facilities are picturesque and well maintained.  There are actually two beaches right next to each other, with separate parking areas. One of the nicest parks we’ve seen, but we were here during the week, and judging by the amount of parking it is […]
The beach is very small, and our pictures show the entirety of it.  They don’t allow dogs at all, but they let us quickly run in to take a few pictures.  The water looks nice though, and it is close to restaurants.  This beach is very close to the much larger Roger Wheeler State Beach, which […]
This is a large park, with a lot of interesting features.  They have a fenced in dog park, space observatory, swimming, fishing, playing fields, a nature center, and a wildlife preserve with trails.  Apparently this used to be an airport which was given to the parks department, and they are letting some parts of it get […]
The parking lot was full, so we shot this location from afar. Â We were here at 11am on a Monday and you can see how crowded it is already. This is a very popular beach, and they have large parking lots and a lot of in town parking, but it is pretty hectic. Â It seems […]
There is a small roped swim area with a sand beach, though people were swimming outside of the marked area. Â They have picnic sites with grills, and a beautiful rustic pavilion that you can rent. Â They have a long list of contact numbers, so please visit their website for more information. http://www.riparks.com/Locations/LocationBurlingame.html
This is a popular fishing spot, and possibly a place that swimming would be good, as there are a few protected pools that might be safe, depending on tide. We don’t know for sure though, and we didn’t see anyone swimming.  We are including this location because it is short hike that is really pretty, and you […]
You are allowed to be here to use the boat launch, but the sign says all other uses are prohibited. Â We did see people swimming, but you might be stopped. Â There are two spots here that people use. Â The first is the boat launch, where there is a small stone wall and roadside parking. Â Just […]
This is a very nice town park with beautiful views.  They have a long sandy beach, and playground and picnic areas are available.  There was a large marked swimming area, and further down the beach people were playing outside the ropes as well. Dogs are allowed in the park but not on the beach.  There is […]
