Kettle Cove State Park
A simple adventure, perfect for a weeknight outing!
There is something for everyone at Kettle Cove making it one of our favorite summer spots. The grassy area makes for a perfect picnic spot, the beach has great tide pools, neat shells are plentiful and the rocks are perfect for climbing. At lower tides you are able to walk over to Crescent State Park beach also making it a great spot for a walk.
Parking is limited but we’ve always been able to find a spot since people are usually coming and going.
Ventured Tips & Noteworthy Nearby Stops:
Kettle Cove Ice Cream & Shack right as you turn off of Rt 77 you will see this spot. They have the standard ice cream flavor selection along with vegan options. They also offer food options like fried clams, veggie burgers and hot dogs. Eat at their picnic tables or take it to-go as you make your way .5 miles down the street to the beach!
Great Pond Trail is an easy 4 mile trail that can be accessed via a trail across the street from Kettle Cove Creamery. It leads to Great Pond and ventures over bog bridges and through the woods. If you’re visiting this area in the winter, Great Pond is excellent for ice skating!
