  Tunipus Beach....private and inaccessible............owned by Nature Conservancy who cleared out all the riff-raff from Pawtucket and Nahant Beach 30 years ago! 4 distinct breaks: Brayton Pt., east along cliffs and mile walk to slo-poke right; during hurricane get's like Lunada Bay in Cal (holds 15'). Moving west, Goosewing Middle's, a fun l. and r. 100 yd. slide (1-6'); can barrel on peaky swells and strong offshore; has sharp barnacles and bad rips to east. Furthur west, Corner's (in front of stinky leach field from trailer park!), an excellent lengthy right like Rincon (crowds) and lastly, the Cove, a racy 100 right on s/se swells....tubes and giant rocks (half mile walk along jagged boulders and people tossing beer and sardine cans from Fairhaven.)
