There's pleasant scenery including interesting shells and even seaweed. Bathrooms theoretically exist but I haven't seen one. You can get here by the Blue Line but you have to cross a street that lacks lights/stop signs. read more

We flew into boston to begin our Cape Cod trip. We stayed at a hotel across the beach which I was totally unaware of but it was incredible! As a midwesterner, anytime you see the ocean it feels unreal. We strolled down the beach for hours and came back the next morning before we left. AFter reading reviews, I did't realize it had a bad rep in the past, it's totally nice and clean now. We enjoyed this long stretch of sand, shells, and water. read more

It's not a bad beach at all. Like that it is public transportation friendly, and the blue T (Wonderland) is right around the corner. It has definitely gotten cleaner over the past few years. There are so many modern buildings, restaurants, food trucks, so it is definitely an up and coming area. It's not Miami, but a day trip here with friends is always a good idea! read more

This isn't the Revere Beach I grew up knowing where you couldn't walk without stepping on a needle. It's clean and relatively nice now! The bathrooms are well kept, and I love how long it is so you can have a really good walk/run. I still feel meh about the water but according to water reports it is amongst the cleanest beach waters now so good for it. Plenty of good food options-I'm partial to grabbing a pizza or some tamales from the spots just across from the sand and eating by the waves. read more

Visiting from Florida, I came with low expectations expecting pebbles like much of the New England coastline. The sand was decent, and the beach was quite expansive and easily accessible by public transport. However, I'd wanted to go for a swim, but the water was way too cold for my comfort even in mid-July. A wet suit would have been a good idea. In addition to relaxing on the sand, there were plenty of food trucks, a Ferris wheel, music performances and even magicians when we went. Some sculptors were competing in a sand sculpting competition too. Overall, besides the disappointment of not being able to go into the water, we had a great time! read more

I couldn't believe how many shells were on the beach! The shells are really limited at the beaches back home in North Carolina, so that this was unexpected. Lots of seaweed, but that was no big deal to us. The beach was pretty clean overall and not that crowded. The walking areas were really nice. Beautiful views! read more

This place exceeded past my expectations! It was super easy to find parking for us because we got there at 9am. We got parking right in front. The sand was super soft starting out, then as you got closer to the shore you it was hard and easy to walk on. We found the biggest seashells ever. But then again, it's our first time at a up north beach. Farthest north we've been was New York . The beach was very clean. At the shore the tide brought in sea weed and broken sea shells. Got to find a baby hermit crab. My 4 year old was able to be at the water with no issues. They had multiple food trucks and food vendors with music . This was a great beach! Thank you MA ! read more

Overall rating: 3 stars, the water is always green on the other side! Food: plenty of food options such as ice cream, tacos, fries, hotdogs from various vendors Texture: water is salty and blue from first glance, but entering into the water you'll soon realize it's a murky green gray Pricing: free parking, food will cost a pretty penny Ambiance: could be nice but could also be lurking with creeps from time to time Seating & Parking: benches and tables going along the beach as well as a short stall wall to sit on Service: N/A Music: whatever song is blasting out of a car or someone's speaker Bathrooms: male and female bathrooms at the very beginning of the beach, a bit unsanitary but what can be expected from America's first public beach Final comments: a nice free beach, be careful of needles in the sand AND on the street! read more

Pretty beach along the Boston Harbor and coast, and I can see why this place is a nice little getaway when you want to escape the city for a while. The water is quiet and serene, and watching the parade of planes coming onto their final approaches into Logan Airport was always fun. Yes, I am a northerner, so going to the beach in the cold months is what we do. It is enjoyable and nice when nobody's around because it allows me to reflect on things and have a beautiful backdrop all to myself (save for one bizarre man who was talking to himself on a bench while eating his dinner). Other than that it was a nice way to spend an hour and reflect on life. Except I will not get that in the summer! Summers are busy here because the days are longer. At least it is right off the Blue Line. Only two blocks from the water and you are there. read more

Revere Beach - A serene night shot - Beaches Near Me

Overall, Revere Beach is one of the popular beaches on the coastlines of the greater Boston area. It may not be in the top 5 but it is definitely a great place to walk and swim during summer. The place features its annual sand sculpture festivals, which are usually hosted on the third or fourth weekend of July. It is a great experience to wander by the sand arts created with planes flying overhead. Ocean, sand arts, and planes are married together for an amazing summer scene. During the sand sculpture festival, it may be hard to find street parking nearby. The parking garage at the wonderland station of Blue Line can be a place with $7 on weekdays and $2 on weekends. read more

And dream of getting out of here Summer here is a ball But you'll freeze in the Fall If you live on the beach at Revere I revere Revere. There, I said it. Amazing Suburban City Northeast of Boston which basically is centered around the huge crescent-shaped beach that has to be the most perfect crescent-shaped beach in all of North America. It reminds me of Nice in France, on the Cote D'Azur. A very very very very very cold Nice. So maybe they should call it Notsonice? There is brilliant roast beef and perfect views of the planes landing at Logan and can it really get any better than this place - nah - and I wish I would have discovered it a long time ago. As for the beach... Revere Beach is the place in Boston that I Revere the most. I can't believe it took me this long to find it. It reminds me of any beach town in England with a beautiful crescent shape, you can see all the way from one end to the other, and gorgeous fairy lights at night with the added element of a roast beef shop that is pretty decent and open until 1 or 2 in the morning - and the added added element of planes landing right over the beach into Logan Airport which makes for an added dimension of added added added. Added. BTW I added you on facebook hi. Definitely one of the most memorable and emotionally significant beaches in the country for me although I know there are cleaner and more secluded ones nearby. Plus you can park all night here and nobody will bother you which I just did last night. Zzzzzzzzz. What a spectacular place to wake up and one of the most beautiful beaches in the whole country. I love it so much here. read more

It is hard to believe that this lovely beach (at least, it's lovely now) is so close to downtown Boston. A very quick ride on the Blue Line ($5.50 or less, round trip) and a few minutes has you stepping out and getting the sand between your toes. It is a nice, long arc with planes going overhead and landing at Logan airport, not far to the south. Picnic tables and a bandshell complete the picture. Revere Beach proudly calls itself "America's First Public Beach" and I'm not going to disagree. read more

So this is the end of the road for our Drive Across America. Dublin CA to Boston, MA, Pacific Ocean to Atlantic Ocean, 9 days - 3,302 miles - 51 Yelp reviews. It was an epic journey and a trip of a lifetime. We will miss our rental Toyota Sequoia we nicknamed "Stormy". Revere Beach is a nice, large sand beach an easy drive from Boston. It's a good shelling beach and no waves so probably Ok for swimming. Check it out. Listed in Drive Across America: https://www.yelp.com/collection/4_4-FCUBHEQBq43u7DXRig read more

This is a fun beach to visit in the summer time. - In the summer they have a sand castle festival! Artists showcase incredible sand sculptures. There is also a boardwalk with the typical fair foods and street performers. - In terms of the beach itself, definitely not the best beach I have been to. But for Boston, I think it is a solid option especially since it is accessible by T. - Like any other beach, it does get crowded in the summer time but it is a reasonable amount of people. read more

I love this beach for the following reasons: - a long coast to walk for hours - parking all along the coast that's usually allowed for 4 hours at a time - a good, clean footpath - cool restaurants with good (junk) food/drinks (a bit expensive) - proximity to the Boston downtown - proximity to the airport (Sometimes air crafts landing at Logan go over this beach and it's fun to watch them so close) I would say that it's not the cleanest beach (but definitely clean). You may find other beaches that are less crowded and cleaner if you drive for couple of hours. But if you want to go to a good beach that's minutes away Boston, Revere beach is here for you! read more

Revere beach is such a great beach when you're living in the city! Just north of Boston, you can get here by taking the blue line all the way to the end at Wonderland, and walk to the beach in just two minutes from the station. Super clean beach and doesn't smell bad at all, there are bathrooms on either end of the beach at the posts. Blue line connects from green at government Center and state street for the orange line. Can't recommend it enough - will be frequenting it all summer! read more

Coming from so-cal so this is the closest beach to Harvard campus and the closest thing to a patch of sand next to a body of ocean water. You should have an idea of what you're going to do before you try to go to a beach like this- the sand is not fine and honestly pretty gritty toward the edge away from the water. If you're interested in frisbee and soccer, those are totally doable. Otherwise, if you wanted to get some sun tanning in that's only good if you're safe because you will get sun burnt if you're not careful! Make sure you get a dip in the water to test your ability to handle cold. read more

Revere Beach - Beaches Near Me

Revere Beach has a very special place in my heart I grew up in Revere. At the very end of Revere Beach in a little section called the Point of Pines. For those of you not familiar with Revere Beach. It is America's first public beach and it has the most crescent shape of any beaches in all of the United States. When I was younger it was the last era of amusements at Revere Beach. I was lucky enough to ride the cyclone an old wooden roller coaster would bang and bump so much it would scare the living sh't out of you. And as a boy my friends and I couldn't get enough of it. I also caught the end of the arcade and famous eateries such as Rudolphs peppered steak and Anna's pizza. For those of you that missed all of that we still have the world-famous Kelly's roast beef they invented the roast beef sandwich the original location is on Revere Beach along with Bianchi's pizza the best on the North Shore probably in the country for a standard pie. That Rivera Beach you can enjoy miles of sand and it low tide you can walk out for almost miles the beach is very accommodating for all cultures in all aspects of beach life. It is easily accessible through the MBTA's blue Blueline And has multiple stops along the beach so you can get to the area that you like best. Regardless of the reputation Revere Beach is an extremely safe beach as the state police have a barracks directly on the boulevard. So gather up the family, pack the cooler, grab a bathing suit and yes it's December but take a dip in the ice cold Atlantic go enjoy Revere Beach you'll have some wonderful memories here. If you need changing facilities and bathroom facilities head on down to the area in front of Sammy's patio Sammy just happens to be an excellent friend of mine we went to school together so pop on in and tell Sammy Dave Romanow says hello and grab a drink the bathhouse is right in front of his location. I hope you all go and enjoy yourself I try to go to the beach every day‍‍ It was an awesome day today January 12, 2017 it was so warm I had to go for a slice figured I would open up the garage and take the bike out for a spin all I can say another great day at Revere Beach great slice great ride great weather !!!! read more

I wanted to check this place out because I read somewhere that it is the first public beach in America. It sure seems like it hasn't been cleaned since the first visitors came over 200 years ago. It is really dirty and there's all sorts of trash buried in the sand. The crowd is a little rough and there are not too many of the typical businesses you expect to find near the beach (restaurants, beach stores, etc.). read more

We just stopped by for a half hour walk before heading to the airport. It was more than I expected. They don't charge for parking. I was surprised not to find parking meters. There is easly beach access. The beach was just feet from where we parked. There is a long stretch of sand. It was rather quiet but them again it was early on a Wednesday afternoon. I would plan to stop again on the way out of town. read more

Venice Beach in the 80s...... .... slightly bearable during the day, but once that sun starts to set, head for your car..... no, RUN for your car.... and make like a tree and leave. I came to Revere Beach to see the Sand Sculpture competition, which I must say was worth the visit. I'm always amazed to see such amazing works of art created from something I dig out of my bellybutton. The beach itself is picturesque.... but very Monet- great from afar, but kind of falls apart as you get closer. Coming from Southern California, it probably isn't a fair comparison (other than maybe Venice Beach) to anything I'd consider a regular weekend visit, but for Boston, I suppose it's bearable, though I'll likely never come here again. It just didn't feel.... safe. The wife asked if I was comfortable with her bringing our daughter here alone, to which I replied, "only if I plan on getting rid of you". Hellz no! read more

This Miami girl had to check out a beach in Boston while I was in town. It doesn't compare to Florida beaches, but overall, it seemed like a nice beach with a small town feel surrounding it. Even with the weather in the upper 60s/lower 70s, there were still people out there on a Monday afternoon trying to soak up a little bit of sun. The sand looks nice, but I don't know if I'd venture into the water. It was the first time for me seeing water that dark at a beach. It's not too bad of a ride on the blue line to get there, and there are a few small restaurants and bars across the street. I can imagine that this place is busy when it's warmer and on the weekends. read more

Although Revere Beach may not have a good rep and people see it is trashy, believe me Hampton is MORE trashy. Plus, if you're lucky enough to get here early (before noon on a summer week day or weekend) you can find free parking on the side of the road. Hampton doesn't offer free parking at all. That's a huge plus for me when I come to a beach. There's not as many restaurants and stores on the boardwalk but I find it more enjoyable and relaxing. Definitely not the best beach around Boston but worth coming to! read more

Having family in Revere we often travel past Revere Beach but never actually stop. Today I decided to spend a little time watching the winter waves after the most recent show fall.

Indeed. It may not be the prettiest or the cleanest beach you've ever seen. But can we all agree that this is the most convenient beach in Boston area? Sure. This beach is often used as a punchline of many jokes but once you actually see it. It is not as horrible as we anticipate. If you wake up late in the summer morning with major hangover and are looking for a cure? Hop on the blue line with a few plastic bags in case you need to throw up during the journey. Get off at Revere Beach and jump in the cold water. Believe me. You'd be surprised how much you'd feel better after that. No plan needed to come here as it's only 20-30min away from Downtown Boston. Revere Beach is very precious existence for spontaneous dudes/dudettes like myself. read more
