Requires daily fee between Memorial & Labor Days. A very popular beach, Red River is large a fun place for swimming, playing in the waves, and boogies boarding. In addition, there is a kayak and canoe launch.
We went to the beach in the late afternoon to end the day by building sandcastles and collecting shells. It was like we had the beach to ourselves and it was so beautiful!

It was June during our visit, so the water was quite chilly, but the sand and views were beautiful and well kept and there was plenty of parking. Quite a bit of seaweed at that time of year, but a great beach to walk along and take in the sights.

Clean, soft sand with access to restrooms and daily ice cream truck stops! Family beach. Fun beach for kids to crab on the rock jetties, if they bring a bucket.

Great beach, good parking, bathroom facilities, attentive lifeguards, and a food truck. Also, the ice cream truck comes by!

We love Red River Beach but we also love Fernandes Bog at Long Pond for the little ones.
