Horseneck Beach, located in Westport, is a popular two-mile stretch of sandy shoreline at the mouth of Buzzards Bay. 

The beach is part of the larger Horseneck Beach State Reservation, which features sand dunes, salt marshes, and walking trails teeming with wildlife. The waves here are typically gentle, making it a great spot for swimming, while the steady winds attract kite surfers and sailors. The adjacent marshlands provide excellent birdwatching, with species like piping plovers and ospreys frequently spotted in the area.

Horseneck Beach also has plenty of amenities, including picnic areas, restrooms, and a campground for those looking to extend their stay. Its location on Buzzards Bay means visitors can enjoy spectacular sunsets over the water.
