Long Sands Beach, lying under the watchful eyes of professional lifeguards and a local lighthouse named the Nubble Lighthouse, is one of many beautiful beaches in New England and is frequently visited throughout the year. This beach has nice soft sand and is family friendly.

The waters are calm and suitable for swimming and other aquatic activities, and the beach is open all day every day. There is food at every corner, so you can spend the whole day on the beach without moving more than a couple of feet from your umbrella. There are also umbrella rentals available at the beach.
