Earle Road Beach
Harwich, MA
Earle Road Beach in Harwich is a rocky, shell-strewn beach with grassy dunes behind it, on Nantucket Sound. It is quieter than the town's big beaches, with portable toilets rather than full facilities. The town sells day passes here, which makes it an easy option for visitors.
Quiet, shelly, and easy for visitors to use, though the rocky shore is not for everyone.
