Constitution Beach is a hidden gem in East Boston/Winthrop with calm, protected water ideal for families with young children, plus a lifeguarded swimming area and a lovely grassy picnic area. The beach sits directly under the Logan Airport flight path, which creates a unique and surprisingly thrilling atmosphere as planes pass low overhead. It's reachable by Blue Line to Orient Heights plus a short bus or bike ride.
