Crane Beach

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous, so we drove up to Crane Beach in Ipswich for a long walk and dinner in town. Here are some photos of the day.

Lobster Dinner. Or, as some Bostonians would say "Lobstah Dinnah".

I hope you're enjoying the weekend wherever you are.

  3. Linda - The beach seems to have changed so much over the years and especially after the spring storms. There are such large sand bars carved out of the sand and peninsulas, especially when the tide is out. As always, there's plenty of room to get away from the crowds too. I highly recommend a visit if you like the beach.
