Who doesn't love the ocean AND a fresh water pond for rinsing off when the day is done, or for the little ones, when the ocean waves can be a bit much. Tag-team and everyones happy.

Private beach setting on a wild life reserve that Tracey has a members for and set it up for us.
If you have children they will absolutely love it.
Soft sand, beautiful view, and not crowded. Waves can be rough so the ocean side is not a place for children who want to be in the water. They should stay in the cove side where you can rent boards, Kayak’s and paddle boats.
You will love it!

Absolute great beach for kids. Worth the drive and tricky entrance. It has the waves like South Beach on one side and a small pond for swimming for the littles on the other. Pro tip: book parking in advance through the trustees and bring a sand wagon for the small hike to the best spot.

Long Point is unique because it has the Oceanside and a pond side for children.

Beautiful secluded beach -- ocean side for surfers, and pond side is calm and warm for paddle boating, kayaking, and swimming. Requires parking reservation.

The beach is pristine and beautiful facing the South shore, the Atlantic Ocean. But a very short walk through a sand dune brings you to huge, calm FRESH WATER POND, beautiful shallow sandy bottom, perfect for young children. A perfect family place.

Long Point Reserve - This beach is perfect for families. It has both an ocean side and a freshwater pond side. Our kids loved the pond and the fish in the pond. The beach is great for surfing. Had I known, I would have brought a board. It also was not crowded, but you do need a reservation (at least this year because of COVID).
