Beautiful Spot!

Our first visit here was in March with high winds and sub zero temperatures. It came highly recommended and was worth the trek through the snow. We were anxious to return this summer when the hut was open for full viewing. Spectacular place with great...More

Beautiful in the spring

This is a good place for an easy hike with the family. The preserve is just off of Rt 1 in Rockport and in the spring when the wildflowers are blooming it's just beautiful. There's a parking lot big enough for cars but I wouldn't...More

Amazing views even on an overcast day

Beech Hill Reserve is simply a must see on your Rockport excursion! The walk up to the top was a bit rocky at points so make sure to wear appropriate shoes. The path leading up to the top provides excellent views of the ocean. At...More

Walk through the woods

The trail is fairly easy, but you can't see much until you get to the top. The veiws from there are fabulous and make the hike worth while. Bring bug spray.

a walk in the fileds

Love this spot. A great place for a walk, a picnic, a dog walk. The view from the stone house is fabulous, there is always a cool breeze, and in the winter, the stars on display make it seem magic!
