Front Beach

Front Beach is a public beach in Essex County with fine sand and calm waters that extend toward the Atlantic Ocean. The coastline features multiple entry points and offers various sections suitable for swimming and relaxation.

The beach emerged as an important location for Essex County residents during the early development of Massachusetts coastal areas. Its role as a recreational destination has endured and evolved over the decades since then.

The beach serves as a gathering place for the local community, especially during summer evenings when residents come together for various events. This reflects how central this location is to everyday life in the area.

The beach is accessible through several entry points with parking available for visitors. Lifeguards are present during summer months to monitor water safety and assist swimmers.

The protected cove formation creates natural swimming areas where water temperatures are warmer than at neighboring coastal sections. This geological shape makes it a particularly pleasant location for swimming during warmer months.
