Garbage Beach
By David Remsen , 10-05-2009
Poor name for a nice spot - This is a small sandy beach right in town off the seawall. It gets it's name because it's the only place on that part of the waterfront where ant flotsam would collect but really it's quite clean. Traditionally this is where the BU Marine Programme students would seine up small fish in their intro course. It's mostly Eel grass meadow off the beach. Typical poor visibility for Woods Hole.
