This is a very nice local Dartmouth beach that looks out over the harbor. Next to the beach is a park with parking, picnic areas, and sports areas as well. This is a great place to star or end a ride while enjoying the views.

The views of this marsh land are extensive from the road. If you keep your eye out, you are likely to see some of the interesting bird species that inhabit the marshes.

This windmill makes a lovely sight and even more so due to its fantastic condition. These windmills were far more common in times gone by, giving an idea of what the landscape previously looked like.

East Horseneck Beach has some beach views, but the road is lined with trailers and mobile homes so you can catch the view in between the mobiles units while passing riding by. This area is different from the nearby Horseneck Beach State Reservation Campground.
