Cook's Beach

Back

Last Update March 3, 2004

Cook's Beach is a long shingle bar that extends north back toward the mouth of the Chebogue River.  The turn onto the beach is to the west just after you cross a marsh area but before you reach the rock storm control wall.  It is easy to miss.  By summer there is usually a 'graded' roadway to the end of the bar.  It is a good access point for the lower Chebogue River and the coast to the south.
