The best beaches in New England

FOR CAMPING - The 480 campsites at the 521-acre Salisbury Beach State Reservation (978-462-4481, reserveamerica.com ) in Salisbury are some of the most popular in Massachusetts. The beach is a lot rockier (and the water a lot colder) on Penobscot Bay, but Searsport Shores Ocean Campground (207-548-6059, campocean.com ) in Searsport, Maine, makes a perfect base for exploring the coast and taking day trips to Acadia National Park. The campground has a quarter mile of beach. It’s hard to beat the combination of dense woods and 1,500-foot sandy beach that wraps around the pond at Lakeside Camping on Island Pond (802-723-6649, lakesidecamping.com ) in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.
