Singing Beach gets its name from the unique squeaking sound your feet make as you walk through the fine sand. This beach is the perfect combination of seclusion, water, and scenic atmosphere, making it one of the most popular beaches on the North Shore. The beach is great for walking around or collecting shells or jumping in the waves. Lifeguards are on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

How to get there: Singing Beach is within walking distance of the Manchester Depot MBTA commuter rail stop, $1.70 to $7.75 depending on zone.
