Riverhead beach feels like the Rodney Dangerfield of Marblehead’s beaches – ‘No Respect’.  With its location directly across Ocean Avenue from Devereux Beach, it is often overlooked by beach-goers.  Riverhead beach does offer a number of opportunities that its big brother across the road cannot – calm waters, a launch for boats and abundant sea glass.  Its coast is also filled with S curves that make for some great compositions.

This image was captured on the last day of November in 2013.  I was out chasing the clouds you see featured prominently in the sky when I decided on this vertical composition including the shoreline and the working boat in the harbor.

With the coming Summer, don’t forget to visit Riverhead beach – especially if Devereux gets very crowded.
