Halibut Point State Park offers a unique blend of coastal beauty and geological interest. Located on the north shore of Massachusetts, the park features a historic granite quarry, now filled with water, alongside scenic ocean views. The trails are well-maintained, offering a 1.6-mile loop that is generally flat and accessible for all types of hikers. Wildlife observations, including deer, are common. The park is fully leash-friendly, allowing dogs on leashes. Facilities include a visitor center with restrooms. While there is no swimming or typical beach area, the rocky shoreline invites exploration. The park’s relatively low light pollution makes it a suitable spot for stargazing. Parking is available, with a fee for non-residents during the summer months.
