Latest reviews on Massachusetts's beaches

Craigville Beach

10 Seraphina Larkspur

The beach is lovely and picturesque.

Round Hill Town Beach

9 Steven Martin

I grew up at this beach till I moved to Fall River about 40 years ago. Would meet friends from Dartmouth High class of 74. I also thought that if you lived in Dartmouth and went to Dartmouth High you should be grandfathered.

Good Harbor beach

10 Nathan B.

This beach on the North Shore is undoubtedly the best one around. Located in Gloucester, it boasts a long and beautiful stretch of sand, complete with public porta-potties and an ice cream shop. The beach is spacious enough to accommodate multiple families, with ample room for games and sandcastle building. The surf is gentle, and there's even a side channel where little ones can safely play and explore the rocks for snails and crabs. However, be warned that the seagulls can be a nuisance, so keep a close eye on your food. Parking can be a bit pricey for non-locals, but there are ways to save. If you visit during the week or close to 5pm, parking is free. Additionally, parking is free during the off-season, and there's free parking on Nautilus road with beach access. However, these spots fill up quickly, so it's best to arrive early if you want to snag a spot. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone in the area.

Revere beach

10 Kemal Arslan.

The Revere beach offers a picturesque view of the coastline with an enchanting sunset that leaves you in awe. As you look up, you'll see airplanes soaring through the vast blue sky, adding to the already magnificent scenery. The beach is truly a sight to behold, and the combination of natural beauty and man-made wonders is a perfect blend for a memorable experience.

Wingaersheek beach

10 Nicoletto Rossi

What an absolute gem of a beach! The sand is as soft as butter, the view is breathtaking and the location is superb (not to mention the amazing Holy Cow ice cream shop nearby). We arrived early and stayed until about 3:00 pm, enjoying an early dinner and some ice cream before returning to the beach for low tide and the sunset. I was blown away by the abundance of sand dollars, clams, crabs and the stunning panoramic view. It was truly amazing and worth the trip! Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance, ideally a week prior, and try to arrive by 11 am to secure a prime spot. The bathrooms are clean and there's a food stand available (although we didn't indulge, it looked appetizing!). Just be careful of the seagulls, as they'll swoop down and snatch your food in a heartbeat! This is a very clean and family-friendly beach with gentle waves and comfortably warm water. Boogie boards and puddle jumpers are not permitted, but that doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of this quiet and peaceful beach. So go ahead and savor the experience!

Beverly beach

10 Larissa Krenzelik

This beach is absolutely delightful for relaxing and taking in the scenery. The shells are stunning and the view is breathtaking. I would definitely return for another visit.
