DEMAREST LLOYD MEMORIAL STATE PARK
This park is one of the best kept secrets in the Massachusetts forest and park system. Here, an 1800-foot saltwater beach is backed by rambling hills of beach grass and shaded, grassy picnic sites. A broad, scenic marsh lines the Slocum River on the park's eastern edge.
The beach is ideal for families with children. The Buzzards Bay surf is calm and shallow, giving rise to warm watertemperatures through most of the summer. It is also a great spot to see egrets, herons, ospreys, terns and hawks.
Enjoy saltwater fishing on Buzzards Bay, where you can catch species like striped bass and bluefish. Freshwater options include largemouth bass in the park's pond.
