Singing Beach is a beautiful beach in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA. It is a great small beach, known for its sand that makes noise when stepped on. The beach is very dog friendly, allowing dogs off-leash during the fall, winter, and spring seasons, making it great for dog walks. It can be crowded in the spring and summer, with limited parking and access during peak months, and dogs are not allowed in the summer. It is a nice length for walking, with a walk of less than a mile from downtown to the water. It is a beautiful spot with lots of friendly people and dogs.
Great small beach. Great for a dog walk in the winter. It fills up in the spring but still nice, just a little crowded at times

This is an absolutely beautiful beach and dog friendly to boot. It was our doggies first trip to the beach and they had the best time ever. Lots of friendly people, lots of other dogs and leashes are optional. And if you listen closely you can actually hear the sand signing.

Such a beautiful spot! I think parking and access can be pretty limited in the summer months but once fall comes around it's open to the public and much less busy/crowded. Very dog friendly spot (though most dogs are off leash, be aware!)
