We were having lunch on some rocks down by the ocean, smelled something that wasn't just low tide, sure enough, right...

Old Town Charm

Aug 2015

Best place to go for walking/shopping/being with friends and family. Quaint little town of Rockland. Nothing beats being near the ocean. Small beach, but great atmosphere. Friendly people.

It's small.

I really would not spend too much time there when there are so many other beaches to enjoy

Walk To Ocean Beach From Center Of Town

Jul 2014 • Solo

Near the end of the Rockland Boardwalk. Small beach with sand and rocks with beautiful view of the harbor. Read, swim, picnic. Steps down to beach. Free. Very peaceful. Dogs not allowed during summer period.

Bring your ocean shoes

Aug 2018 • Family

Great for children but be sure they have some kind of water shoe on as it is very rocky and has lots of little shells (really hurt my feet!). The kids had fun but it was low tide and there was lots of seaweed. It's a pretty beach, has tide pools and has come picnic tables up at top and under some trees. Some tables will give you line of sight of the beach. Has some limited parking too.

Cute Beach

Oct 2017 • Couples

Very small beach. Quiet. We were the only two on it. We had so much fun finding TONS of sea glass. We couldn't believe how much there was on such a little beach. It's right in downtown Rockland.

Dog walk

May 2017 • Family

Stop here for lunch with your pup or take a walk. A nice walk to the beach or eat your lunch. Gorgeous views from the car or the beach. Picnic tables are available on nice days. Pet friendly.

Beautiful Spot

Jun 2016 • Couples

We were staying close by for a week so we walked here almost every day. We even saw a rainbow one evening. Liked the large ball made out of railroad spikes. Nice sidewalks, benches and a public restroom. Nice view of Rockland Lighthouse and many boats in the harbor. Clean and safe area!

A cute little spot to sit and watch the boats

Jul 2015 • Couples

There is a small parking area, picnic tables and benches on the grass overlooking the water, and a walking path that leads to the beach. Many locals use the trail, hard to find parking during the lunch hours.

Small Sandy Beach in Town

Sept 2020 • Couples

Nice small sandy beach with easy access from the boardwalk. Nice granite stairs to access the beach.

Nice views of the harbor and plenty of boats. A few benches at on top of the bank overlooking the beach.

"Ridin' The Rails to Rockland"

Sept 2018 • Couples

We went to this beach/park for the primary reason of seeing the "Ridin' The Rails to Rockland" sculpture. Local resident Jay Sawyer created this sculpture from railroad ties collected from all over the state. It has been beautifully situated overlooking the bay.
