Whether you want to take a refreshing plunge, play in the sand, or bask in the sun, this unparalleled seaside experience has provided fun and lasting memories for generations.Ĭrane Beach is among the world’s most important nesting sites for piping plovers-a threatened bird that was nearly hunted to extinction in the 19th century for its eggs and feathers-and has been nationally recognized for its successful shorebird protection program. Visited by more than 350,000 people annually, Crane Beach remains a national model for balancing conservation of diverse natural habitats and wildlife-more than 1,200 acres of beachfront, dunes, and maritime forest grace the property-with the management of active public recreation.
