Editors' Picks
Take exit 20A off Rte 128 North and follow to Rte 133 East. Then take Northgate Rd to Argilla Rd. The popular four-mile beach abuts the grounds of the Great House on Castle Hill (the Crane Estate), where rolling green lawns are open to the public. Toilets (appropriately), a bathhouse (ditto), a picnic area, and a snack bar are available. Bring insect repellent — the greenheads, especially in late July, bite hard. In season life guards and rangers on duty. The beach and grounds are both open year-round from 8 am to sunset. Come early, as the parking lot often fills up by 11 am. Parking $25 on weekends, $15 on weekdays. Admission for bikers and hikers $2. Admission halved after 3 pm.
