Known forlong beachQuincyharbor viewsneighborhood gem
Wollaston Beach is one of the longest public beaches in the Boston metro area, stretching nearly two miles along Quincy Bay with easy Red Line access at Wollaston station. The beach has a relaxed, neighborhood feel with a dedicated bike path and great views of the Boston Harbor Islands. It can get weedy at low tide and the water is best for wading rather than serious swimming.
