Salisbury Beach State Reservation, Grade 3 Student
I like going to Salisbury Beach State Reservation. I like to play in the sand and make sand castles. I like to swim in the water and ride on my "boogie board". Camp it, Grade 2 Student
The park was not like other campgrounds that I have camped at. There aren't many trees. But my favorite thing was going to the beach. You can walk the beach and then climb the rocks, and go fishing, too. There are arcades nearby to play games, and there are places to eat and get ice cream, too.Salisbury Beach State Reservation, Grade 4 Student
I liked Salisbury Beach, but I did not like the State Reservation. If you are a real camper, you might not like the reservation because there are not that many trees and the roads are paved. I had fun anyway and enjoyed the beach because the tides would come and push you away. Next to the Reservation are many arcades, restaurants, places to get ice cream, and little shops.
