At a glance
Overview
Bucklin Beach is a small town-managed swim beach on Little Lake Sunapee in New London. The shoreline is narrow and the lot is tight, which keeps the crowd manageable compared to the bigger Sunapee beaches down on the big lake. New London residency or guest rules typically apply at the entrance, so read posted signage before setting up. The water is calm, clean freshwater with a gradual sandy entry — good for small kids who want a quieter swim than the busier state beach scene.
