Crane Beach

The coastland to our north offers an experience of extremes: grand schooners moored next to humble old row boats, sweeping estates edged against storm-beaten cottages, and some of the best beaches in New England. A striking strand indeed, CRANE BEACH up in Ipswich runs a four-mile stretch of sand on 1200 acres of conservation land, which means it’s got both humans and wildlife in mind. (It’s a noted home for spindly threatened shorebird the piping plover.) The North Shore is the Maine of Massachusetts, except with way warmer waters.
