One of the best parts about living in Boston is our close
proximity to the water. The refreshing ocean breeze, fishing, sailing, and
water sports just touch on the numerous ways to enjoy life by the harbor this
summer. Because Boston is an urban area, many newcomers aren’t aware of how
simple it is to escape to nature for a day. Even those who don’t own a car can
easily get away to a local beach for the afternoon. Here are a few
recommendations for the best beaches to visit in Boston this summer.
Spectacle Island
Forget driving or parking. Spectacle Island is easily
accessible by a ferry, which conveniently runs every half hour. Located just a
15 minute ride from the Boston waterfront, the beaches of this pristine oasis
are littered with gorgeous sea glass and seashells. A short hike grants
visitors a spectacular view of the Boston skyline. Finally, settle down for the
afternoon with a picnic lunch and you have yourself a picture perfect day.
Castle Island Beach
You get a little bit of everything when you visit Castle Island in South Boston. The relaxation of the beach meets the enjoyment of
people watching all while savoring an ice cream cone from Sullivan’s. This is
the place to go if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city without
actually going too far. Castle Island is just a quick train ride from downtown,
and parking is plentiful, too!
Winthrop Beach
While tourists tend to flock to Revere Beach, Boston locals
know where to escape to tranquility just minutes from downtown Boston. This
no-frills beach is quite small and lacks the shopping and amenities that tend
to attract out-of-towners. Winthrop Beach is much less crowded than your other
options in the Boston area, and there is always plenty of free parking
available. If you want to pack a lunch and enjoy a relaxing afternoon away from
the city crowds, Winthrop Beach is for you!
In addition to the beaches I have listed above, there are
numerous other spots you can visit this summer. Once you buy a home in Boston
and get acquainted with your neighborhood, you’ll find all of the hidden gems
that the locals rave about and return to year after year.
Summer is a fantastic time to buy a home in Boston. All of
your new neighbors come out of hibernation and are outdoors, making it easy to
develop new friendships. If you’d like a personal guide to help show you around
the city, please contact me! As your Boston real estate agent, it’s my pleasure

I look forward to hearing from you when the time is right!
