A rock jetty on Plymouth's Long Beach is in the foreground with Rocky Hill/ Manomet Hill in the distance. This is Plymouth's largest and most popular summer beach. Parking is close to the sand, a restaurant is on site, and public restrooms are available.
Although the jetties along this stretch of beach are designed to help protect against beach erosion, the sand comes and goes, year in year out. This year, the southernmost portion seems to have had much of its sand scoured out by storms. Perhaps this winter it will be replenished.
