Bike Ride in Nahant

Are most beaches in the world as rocky as those in New England, or are smooth sands more common? Not a shell to be seen among the all the stones. 

The Nahant bike trail is over 10 miles long. We started past the long beach that connects this almost island to the mainland. Taking one other shortcut we likely cut our ride in half. Five miles is a lot for little legs, especially on little bikes with littler wheels. And our little kids did that trail with us, with about as little complaining as they ever have.  

And we ended with a soft sunset and sprinkled donuts.
