    Please help with identifying this was taken at Humarock beach in the dunes near the south river

    Answer

    I assume you mean Humarock Beach in Massachusetts. Your plant looks to be Prunus maritima var. maritima (beach plum), a shrub of the coastal plain. The dark blue fruits are typical of this species in the fall season.
