Best for walking and activities
The paved coastal walk to Castle Island with harbor views, plus plane spotting and windsurfing viewing, may appeal.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking fills up as the day progresses, especially on warm weekends and sunny afternoons.
Plan for cold water
Water temperature is noticeably cold even in summer, so bring a wetsuit or be prepared for an invigorating swim.
Bring water shoes for entry
The beach bottom has black muck under sand and scattered gravel that can be uncomfortable or make your feet dirty.
