Nice place to bring some food or a grill and brews and have a day of relaxation, seems like not too many people know about this beach so it never really gets that crowded... maybe i shouldnt post this to keep its secrecy jk but people typically swim here, go fishing, jet skiing, whatever. Best part is when the tide is low, you can grab up some clams, mussels, oyster, etc.

Great out of the way beach... very secluded

Nickerson Park on Squantum. A beautiful walk during the Coronavirus.

A great place to get away from the city stress

Beautiful view of the Boston skyline, doesnt get much better.

I really love going here because of Squaw Rock Park and the fact that at low tide a sandbar appears that connects this peninsula to Thompson Island if only for a few hours. Plus it seems to be less frequented than other beaches in the area and these days that is a wonderful thing.

Squaw rock is terrific for bringing kids and checking out tide pools.

Beautiful and quiet view of the city. More remote than Wollaston.

What a neat trail around the water

Kids love finding crabs under the rocks and searching for sea glass.

Nice quiet beach protected by a man made sandbar

Cool place for dogs but beware of a really nosey woman who spies on dog owners. We call her the dog poop patrol.

Quite nice and Calm place. Better visit late evening and then see city lights sitting on stones nearby a wrecked watch tower. Not that great as a beach but quite wonderful for evening walk or romantic sitting and admiring sea.A small hike is also there.

Isolated and lots of walking space. It does take a little effort to get down to the beach, but I think thats what makes it so special. Tons of purple shards and sea glass to pick through, too!

Great view of Boston!

Beautiful place especially at sunset time

Definitely a hidden gem in Quincy. About 3-5min walk from the American Legion parking lot. Great place to take the dog, swim, kayak, and walk the sand bar. Cool views of the skyline, too!

Hidden secret gem.Winter, Spring, summer and Fall.Low tide = entrance to island.Thats all Ill say.A VERY little know secret get away.Please bring your favorite furry friend.

See Chrisseas Kayaks on fb.

Nice small flat sand beach. Nice to launch kayaks, small boats or paddle boards. Tide dependent. Clean.stretchgfw

Very inviting staff. Wonderful views.

A little rocky but peaceful besides being close to a main road.

Great short walk with the pup.

Nice little walk

This is the place with ocean rocks closest to Boston. Its not a bad spot, with some interesting angle slate geology in a few places. A sunset photo works okay here, but its probably better for sunrise. I give this 3 stars, but keep in mind that anything else within this range of Boston would be 2 stars, if not 1.

Nice place to get fresh air! Trails are easy to follow and very picturesque!

One of the best places I visited in Boston !

Astonishing a place so sea-sidey could be so close to the metropolis that is Boston. Thoroughly charming.

I love coming to Nickerson bech to explore and look for sea glass. But I wish people would clean up the huge mess that is constantly being swept up there. I know Long Island is not being utilized, but this unsung beach is suffering.

A magical spot, a hideaway for teens that was used by Scorsese for his movie Shutter Island, this spot is reminiscent of Mont St. Michel with its sandbar island causeway and has majestic views of Boston.

Nice beach, but too much trash is laying around.

There is a short walking path to the beach which is a small cliff overlooking the Bay. There is also a short, steep path that goes up a hill and then down to the aforementioned cliff.

It is the beauty and the serenity of the place that is enjoyable, juxtaposed against the backdrop of the Boston skyline views.

Nice little park safe

Lots of rocks! Great for hiking and exploring . i do not recommend kids.. Too dangerous.

Interesting location for photography, not your typical beach or waterfront park, a bit off the beaten path and also off- average. Some ruins to explore there.

I dont know where the entrance of the beach is, if theres one at all. I actually slid down a hill, flew through the woods, and landed myself onto the beach, lol. The beach is rocky. Dead seashells, seaweed and other mysterious objects are everywhere. Its super quiet --I went in a warm summer day and there was no other human being in sight the entire time. It was a bit spooky indeed. I dont suggest going there by yourself, well, unless you need some serious alone time for self-reflection or meditation of sorts. :)

Good views of Boston, beach is not great. Best time for beach and swimming is high tide.

Descent area. Lots of trash though

Beautiful beach, off-season is so tranquil

Relaxing place

Love it

Great place to Pokemon Go

Beautiful beach, just refurbished

Awesomely Beatiful!!!

Close to work...
