About

Front Beach is a public ocean beach on the Massachusetts coast, managed by the Town of Essex and about 1.5 miles from the town of Essex itself. Summer is the warm stretch here. A nearby weather station in Beverly records typical averages of about 80°F highs and 60°F lows in July, with August nearly as warm and September easing to the low 70s. Mountain bikers can pair a beach day with the trails a few miles inland, including Fishbone about 2.5 miles away and Caveman and The Gloucester Spot at roughly 2.6 miles, with Bandidos a little farther at about 2.8 miles.
