Frederick J. Benson Town Beach

Frederick J. Benson Town Beach Review

This busy, family-oriented beach less than 1 mi from Old Harbor, has parking lots and plenty of space to lock up bicycles. There's a beach pavilion with a snack bar, showers, and chair and umbrella rentals. Surf here tends to be calmer, making it ideal for kids, and there are lifeguards.
