Plum Island, Massachusetts, United States
4.5 (105 reviews) Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #4 in Newburyport Islands
Plum Island bliss!
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.

I lived there
I was there when there was a coast guard station which is long gone. Tuna fishing with shows of the catch were at the point. The water was very close to the old coast guard boat house but the sands have shifted quite a bit

Lovely for biking
We biked from Newburyport. Recommend hybrids as pavement shifts to gravel for several miles. We continued to Sandy Point beach. Beautiful views. Highly recommend spraying yourself for insects before riding this route. Would otherwise give a 5 rating.
