Crane Beach
Argilla Road, Ipswich
(978)-356-4354

Admission is half-price when entering after 3:00 PM. Open 8 am to sunset.
Nestled in the northern suburb of Ipswich, Crane Beach (referred to by those in the know as Crane's) is definitely one of the most magnificent beaches in the area. There are about four miles of sand here that make for picturesque early morning walks. Such quiet hikes are harder to come by later in the day, though, since Crane tends to attract a fair number of nature and outdoor enthusiasts. As the beach gets more crowded, we recommend strolling through Crane's Pine Hollow Interpretive Trail, a short path that winds through sand, pines, and swamp. A good hour on foot will take you to the lush 165 acres of nearby Castle Hill Estate. The swimming at Crane Beach is fairly good, although the water stays on the cold side all summer long. Usually the current is weak, which makes Crane a nice place for less experienced swimmers. Lifeguards are on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Crane Beach is a 45-minute drive (about 30 miles) from Boston. To get there, take the Tobin/Mystic Bridge to Route 1 North. Take Route 1 to Route 128 North, and follow that highway to Route 1A North 9 (Exit 20). After Route 133 turns off on the right, take the third right, onto Argilla Road. Crane Beach is two and a half miles down the road.
