Description
Ellisville Harbor State Park protects a unique coastal property which includes beachfront, salt marsh, rolling meadows, and red pine forest habitats. One of the most scenic spots on the South Shore coastline, visitors can see small fishing boats, a barrier beach, sphagnum bog, forested upland and open meadows. The large bog attracts many interesting birds as both a habitat and migrations stopover. In fall and winter, harbor seals can often be seen just offshore.
An 18th century farmstead is also included on the property.
The park is accessed from Massachusetts Route 3A, about one mile north of Massachusetts Route 3's Exit 2. Parking is free.
