Crane Beach and Castle Hill on the Estate

Our friend Joey talks about “no brainers”–things you should consider doing because they are just that good.  I consider a visit to Crane Beach and Castle Hill on the Crane Estate as one of those “no brainers”.  We visited over the weekend on a gorgeous day.  Oddly, we weren’t the only ones thinking in a similar manner because there were many many vehicles in both parking lots.  People and horses enjoying the beauty of the day and their surroundings.  Unless you are a member of The Trustees.org ($67 family membership / $47 individual annually for access to ALL Trustee reservations, you pay $10 to access the beach AND Castle Hill on the Estate!  It was $10 well spent for us.

As you can see, there was a standing piece of driftwood that made an excellent staging area for CB and her “sista” from New Yawk.  If you peek into the looking glass, you can get an idea of what the beach looked like, but I figure many of you already have a handle on that.  Except this beach seems to often have horses on it and I haven’t seen that on other beaches in the area, so it’s definitely for horse lovers.

The Estate grounds offer many many photographic opportunities, as well as options for a brisk walk.  Tours are offered and I saw some dressed in period costume at the mansion.

One single sawbuck.  Priceless beauty.
