During the summer there are lifeguards on duty from about 12 to 4 PM. The beach is very clean and well-kept. It's never too busy and there's always plenty of parking. Most people don't know about this place. It's actually open to the public. You do not need to be a Hingham resident to visit here. Not only that but it's actually free. Not only is the beach pristine and beautiful, the water idyllic blue and fresh and clean, but there is a green right next to the beach and it is vast and beautiful with lots of trees and picnic tables. There's lots of places to sit. There's also a snack bar with amazing food. It has lobster rolls and salads and amazing fries. This place is totally a gem. On the other side of the beach there is a beautiful knoll with lots of trees. I recommend this place for kids, for picnic Sundays, for families, anybody can come here. It is open and free to all. A wonderful place to be. Dogs are welcome here on the beach from Labor Day to memorial day. And then from Memorial Day to Labor Day they need to be on leash next to you and they're really not supposed to be on the beach when there are a lot of people around.

This was our first visit to Nantasket Beach in Hull, MA. Before our trip, we couldn't find an…read moreoption to prepay for parking, so we arrived just before noon on a Saturday, which, as we quickly learned, is already considered late for finding both public and private parking. We first drove around the public lots and watched a few lucky visitors grab spots as early arrivals were leaving. The public lot signs listed a $15 resident daily pass and a $40 non-resident daily pass through the Yodel app. The private lots charged $40 with both credit card and cash accepted. We were fortunate to get into an otherwise full private lot, and the teenagers working there were incredibly friendly and helpful. They kept things organized and had a great attitude, which made a stressful parking situation much easier. One advantage of the public lots is their proximity to the public restrooms and showers. If you park in one of the private lots farther down the beach, be prepared for a fairly long walk to the bathrooms, which may not be ideal for families with young children. The beach itself reminded us of Revere beach. Even at the end of July, the water was freezing, and it was quite windy on the day we visited. There are plenty of restaurants and takeout spots across the street, although we brought our own charcuterie board and didn't try any of them. The beach is great for long walks and beautiful sunset or sunrise photo shoots. Unfortunately, it's not ideal for swimming because the water stays too cold and shallow for a long distance from the shore. Overall, we enjoyed the beach, the people, and the atmosphere. However, for us, the drive wasn't worth it since we have beaches closer to home that we prefer. Still, if you're looking to explore a different beach on the South Shore, Nantasket Beach is a nice place to spend the day.

Nantasket Beach-- countless summers spent here during my childhood. I remember when my grandmother…read morewould come here to see the live band on Sundays and line dance under the bandstand. There was a food shack at the pavilion and we would get fried clams after swimming in the water with my boogie board. Then my mom would take me to the playground, and end the day with some mini golf, a carousel ride, and some ice cream. I came here yesterday for the first time in a while, and the renovations are very prevalent. Mini golf is gone, as well as the arcade and fascination. Many new restaurants, none of the ones I remember. Lots of new housing being built. Same sand, same ocean. I see a lot of hopeful developments that will energize this place, but I miss the nostalgia it had when I was a kid. We came here yesterday, May 17th, which has been the nicest day of the year so far. I didn't think it would be this crowded. Never in my almost 30 years of coming here have I seen the beach this crowded. Wow. We all had the same idea. And, it was free parking since it was before the "official" season. So it was a while of circling around and around for a spot. But then we found one. The sand is nice, no rocks. Water is warm. Good for families, or groups of friends, or solo beachgoers. Food nearby, not too many gift shops anymore, but hopefully more to come. A beachfront resort if you want a getaway. No more live music, I hope it comes back. Still have bathhouses to use, they look the same as when I was a kid. One of the best beaches in the South Shore.

I find this park to be very fascinating and mysterious little peninsula into the ocean. Hailing…read morefrom California, it was quite bizarre to me to see World's End, where deciduous forests and fall foliage appear to blend seamlessly into dramatic seaside bluffs and the scent of the Atlantic floats over the entire isolated peninsula. There is also a small tidal marsh and bird blind. The hills in the peninsula are called drumlins, due to their shape and how they were formed from glacial migration. Parking costs about 15 dollars and there is not a whole lot of parking. You really should get an advanced pass, but we were fortunate and were able to get in despite it being Halloweekend. There weren't too many people there, mostly scattered couples and dogs. The paths are a bit confusing and highly looping. World's End almost became a residential subdivision once upon a time, and Frederick Olmsted was hired to design it. There are stately carriage paths and trees planted for this subdivision, but the project was called off. I found this to provide a mysterious ambiance to the peninsula, as it seemed somewhat halfway between a residential subdivision (easy to imagine some little suburban houses sprouting among the trees) and a wilderness area. There are conveniently placed maps at most of the junctions which can aid the lost traveller. I would give World's End 2 or 3 hours to fully explore. It's about 200 acres, with many benches and good viewpoints. You can see lovely views of the Harbor islands and Boston skyline from the peninsula. I especially liked the Bar, a region of the peninsula where it narrows, before reading "World's End" proper. I found this to be a lovely place and definitely enlivened my curiosity. The mystery and beauty of this park is captivating!

Be careful when putting the address into your navigation, especially Waze users, as it took us to the totally wrong location at first. Once you arrive, however, parking is pretty straightforward. It costs $10/car. The staff at the hut where you pay for parking was super helpful in letting us know what route would best suit our time constraints. We were even given a map! The trails were pretty clear, some maybe weren't as clearly defined as they could've been. Note for hikers: this does feel like more a stroll in the park as opposed to a true hike. Some hidden paths did feel like one, however, so don't be afraid to venture off what seems to be the most defined routes. We loved the views of the Boston skyline, harbour, and Hull, MA. This place is definitely worth a visit. I'm looking forward to coming back in autumn to see some good foliage!

You'll have to get out of your car and walk around the rim of the fort counter clockwise 2/3 of the way from the parking lot until you see a black marble bench, move forward right up to the tall grass & brush for the best view of the outer Boston Harbor Islands. Great spot for a picnic, very quiet especially during the weekdays. The tower is open once a month on the 1st Saturday between 10AM & Noon. You can take a ferry from Boston to Pemberton Point in Hull and walk up to the park (1/2 mile or so) or take the Commuter Rail to Nantasket Junction & ride your bike (seven miles each way unless you took the ferry back). There's a lobster shack @ Pemberton Point and tons of fried clams, etc at Nantasket Beach.
