Just a few weeks ago I was at Horseneck Beach. The state park is pretty nice. There is a long beach on Buzzards Bay, a campground, some bathrooms and a concession stand. You pay a little less than $10 per car load to get in and then you can go enjoy the beach. You have to pay an overnight fee if you want to use the campground.

Having never been there before I was not sure how I would find things there. I also did not prepare very well, as I found out after I was there for a little while. I did not bring a cooler with some food and drink supplies and I really, really should have. I went to the concession stand an the prices for things were just outrageous. Almost everything they sold was at least double what you would pay if you were not hanging out in the state park.

I did like the park and I do think I will try to go back again next summer. This time though I will be prepared. No emptying my wallet at Horseneck Beach just to get a sandwich and a drink.
