Nantasket Beach and Hull: The Closest Clean Beach to Boston

To those that live on the South Shore, we kind of take Nantasket Beach for granted. It's a great beach, and anyone that doesn't live in Massachusetts and has been there will tell you that. Nantasket Beach is located in Hull, a peninsula town north of Hingham. Just south of Boston, you can find Wollaston Beach, but it isn't anywhere near as clean or as "beachy" as Nantasket.

Nantasket Beach is known for its giant sea wall that runs alongside the coast, and the giant tidal pool area to along the rocks near the entrance to the beach. While Paragon Park might be closed, Nantasket is still making some great memories for kids and adults alike for the white sand beaches, open Atlantic waves, and summer fun.
