We have other beaches in the area you might consider Bay Point which is surprisingly beautiful for our area, but that is a private beach unless you are renting with in the Bay Point community. Sandy beaches exist in the Gem Beach area, on South Bass and Kelley’s Islands and at East Harbor State Park on Marblehead.
