    This is the best beach in the Boston area. I grew up in Winthrop and now live in the south shore and still come to this beach every weekend in the summer. You can swim here and there is sometimes back wash from the ocean but besides that if is very clean, quiet & private. I would recommend this beach to anyone who likes to swim in the ocean without jelly fish ( like Carson beach in Southie). Two thumbs up for Yirrell Beach ;-)

    Yirrel Beach is located almost all the way to Deer Island. It is a public beach but it seems private to me as there's never anyone on it at least down connecting with Deer Island. The other rent however has approximately 30 parking spots on the street most of which are taking up by the people that live there so it's really an uncluttered uncrowded public beach with the feel of a private beach. There are waves on most days and the water is clean. There's also a jetty that goes out pretty far. It's a natural jetty with lots to see and lots of rocks so you can walk out extremely far on a low tide day. Believe it or not there's an abundance of the sea life they are also bunch of snails once a while I can find some muscles maybe a quahog or two and you can also surfcast off the beach. The best part is every weekend the neighborhood gets together and cleans the beach so please if you do read this review and you decide to visit Yirrel Beach please be considerate and take your garbage home with you I'll dispose of it in the public barrels that are located near the entrance to the beach. Remember respect the beach and it will pay you back triple fold with fun and enjoyment.

    Me and my boyfriend drove up to this beach. Finding free parking was not hard, but finding the restroom was a trip. They had portable restrooms all the way down off into deer island. The sights were beautiful. The beach was a dream (I would suggest staying on the side closer to the red white and blue post since there were less rocks on that side). The sky was great. Deer island park is also a cozy little area and it was very nice to see the Boston skyline from the park. Would love to come again when the sun sets and once it gets really hot. Much cleaner than revere beach, but a little farther if you're coming from Boston area.

    The place isn't well kept by any means and it makes Revere Beach look like Winthrop Beach.
