Cape Ann beaches

Beautiful little beach near us. Low tide sand flats are an amazing place for kids. There is *no parking* on Brackenbury Lane -- you must park on one of the nearby streets off of Hale St and walk down.

Philly has the cheese steak; New England has the steak & cheese sub. Our version is superior in every way. Try a large steak & cheese with peppers, egg, mushrooms, and hot peppers. Not for the timid eater.
