    Plum Island image
    The plum island beaches are in both Newbury and Newburyport. The island is split by the two towns at about 55th street. Newburyport side has public parking lot at end of island. Newbury side has a few private lots one at the center or the island an one next to @mad_marthas restaurant near 20th steeet. Find a Tide Chart and arrive 3 hours before low tide and you’ll have 6 hours of bliss!! If you park near mad Martha’s the sandbars will AMAZE YOU! If you want to surf come at low tide and stay into the next 6 hours for high tide to come in. High tide is NOT family friendly for littles under 8 years old —or so. Newburyport end beaches are less wild with waves. Green heads really aren’t that bad. They are a July full moon occurrence. And I’m here right now in July 2 days after the full moon and I haven’t seen a single one yet. See more..

    Small and picturesque, Bumpkin Island was home to Native Americans, a fish-drying operation, tenant farmers, a naval training camp, polio patients, and more. Now it’s a quiet camping destination, with ten smaller campsites (max. capacity 4 each) and one group campsite (max. capacity 25). Its slate and shell beaches and open areas make Bumpkin a relaxing place to wander. Walk trails lined with wildflowers. Explore the remains of a stone farmhouse and children’s hospital. Watch the sun rise from your campsite. See more..

  7. 5.0 Gerry Island (1 review)

    Islands
    Gerry Island image
    This lovely island, named after one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and known for many other achievements (as well as one not well publicized, i.e. the creator of "gerrymandering,") is just off the coast of Marblehead near Little Harbor. From one hour before to one hour after "dead low tide," it is easy to walk out on a land bridge to the island. The island itself is lovely, filled with greenery, left natural, with some nice benches to sit on and contemplate the island and its surroundings, good views of Crowninshield Island and Fort Sewall.
