America's first public beach, Revere Beach is a wide, mile-long stretch of sand just a short Blue Line ride from downtown Boston. It's best known for its summer sandcastle festival and the beloved Kelly's Roast Beef stand nearby. The water can be chilly and the beach gets extremely crowded on hot summer weekends, so aim for weekday mornings.
