Others to Consider: Crane Beach, Wayland Town Beach, Stage Fort Park Beaches, Castle Island & Fort Independence, Wollaston BeachNahant's 'Long Beach' is an easy drive from most spots around Boston. You'll find ample parking ($3 for whole day) and tons of space on the beach. More importantly, the sand is soft, the water is very shallow for a great distance, and there's a lifegaurd.
A terrific hangout for families with young children. Toddlers will have a blast splashing in the little waves. Unlike adjacent beaches, Long Beach has a 'comfort station.' All the better!
