PLUM ISLAND


Home of vast beaches and the Parker River Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island is a barrier beach island located off the coast of Newbury and Newburyport in northeastern Massachusetts. Plum Island is named after the beach plums that grow wild along its dunes, and is 11 miles long. Small but mighty, Plum Island delivers fun, relaxation, and adventure. From tender tide pools to wild surf, the island has something for everyone.

Infamous for its Wildlife Refuge, Plum Island is home to hundreds of species of birds, plants, and animals. Intertwined throughout the refuge, nature-lovers can easily access walking trails, such as the Hellcat Marsh Loop.
