By clicking the links above, you'll leave AARP and go to a website that is not operated by AARP. A different privacy policy and terms of service will apply.

This beach, also known as "Amtrak Beach," was recently given to the town by Amtrak. It is a narrow cobble and sandy beach for unsupervised swimming, crabbing, fishing and shell fishing.

Railroad Beach offers a less crowded alternative to other nearby municipal beaches and there is no parking fee to access this narrow strip of sandy beach. Be cautious, though, as there are no life guards. Watch the Acela speed by and charter fishing boats depart from the site.
