Fine Sand Beach is one of the few sandy beaches on the Island (another is at the carrying place just down the road from us). You'll need to park on Jericho Bay Rd (look for a small sign and other parked cars) and walk a wooded trail to the beach. Great for swimming and beach combing. Bring bug spray!

Incredibly well stocked for such a tiny place. They might not have everything you want, but you'll find what you need. This is the place to get basic groceries (milk, bread, eggs, ice cream), lobster, clams, and fresh local pies. They have an adjacent take out for lobster rolls, french fies, hot dogs etc and you can call ahead and pre-order pizza on Fridays.
