Is there a beach area / park /or field of some sort and how would I find it?
Thanks so much !!!

From Patricks Pub to Alton Bay is about 20 mins or about 10 - 12 miles. Once you go by the Mount's loading dock and Olde Train Station (will be on your left) there's parking on your right and in a lot on your left. The latter is fairly large but will fill up if you're late. You can sit out on the lawn around the parking lot (bordering the bay) or do as we did last year, sit down along the railing at the town docks. This seems to be a secret
Going across the bay there's a beach that used to be to launch site and might now be open. Going further up Rt28A is all private property so no luck there. Pretty much when you drive in park as close to Shibley's lot as you can and walk to where the music is. Find a place to sit and enjoy. Nothing really tricky.
UTS - Could be the Old Home fireworks, which are really stupendous, are coloring my thinking
Those are worth a trip from anywhere !
