Editorial Review for Singing Beach – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Manchester-by-the-Sea doesn't make it easy for non-residents to visit Singing Beach. There's just a small parking lot--a half mile from the beach--that charges $10-$15 per day and often fills up quickly. Many take a 45-minute train ride from Boston and then walk a half-mile in bathing suits while lugging beach gear. The beach offers lovely sand, plus impressive rocky outcroppings that are great for both climbing and privacy, and a cobalt blue ocean.

Yeah the beach is nice. There is lots of clean sand ample room to spread out. However, with $25 to park a half mile away and $5 per person just to walk on it's an incredible rip-off. Not all of us have the funds that those rich folks in their mansions overlooking the beach have. Don't get me wrong. The beach is nice, but not $30 nice. There are lots of scenic, clean, and AFFORDABLE beaches (most of them free, imagine that) in the area that I would rather go to. I think I'll leave Singing Beach to those millionare snobs who clearly want it all to themselves.
Pros: Cleanliness
Cons: Price

Singing beach is a great beach though it is quite . From climing ont he rock to swimming in the refreashing waters itbis a must see.If driving in or taking the train stop by the Kitchien Witch Backery. Snacking on a nice Greek Greens Wrap and laying out in the sun is a prefect combination.I dont recermend the snack bar high prices for not that good of food.If your not in the mood for quite or crowed or your taking kids older than 7 then go to tucks point. It is also a must see.From juming off the docks to the quite water tucks point is forr you. Stop by the coffie cup on your way out great pizza and vgood riends prefect comination. All in all The Town of manchester by the sea is a must see.
