Clarion Hotel Nantasket Beach

A Thin Strip Of Heaven

by maitEifion

Nantasket Beach is gorgeous--a 4 mile long wide strip of sand and surf. I miss the view and the safe feeling of walking around the village any time of day or night. It's a small town just south of the big city of Boston.

View the Blue Hills and Boston from Revere Tower

I put this under adventure travel because romping around this 1775 Revolutionary War fort can be an adventure. The stairs are crumbling and coyotes lurk after dark, but from the top of the water tower (stairs in fine condition, open on summer weekends, call for other times in the year) it's a marvelous view of Boston Light, Graves Light and the North Shore, Quincy and Hingham harbors, the Blue Hills and the Boston skyline.
There's also a museum in the Officers' Quarters building. The exhibits are being built up gradually.

"Coastal Town"

Growing up, we would go to Hull every summer to visit Paragon Park, home of the most unstable rollercoaster. The park has long since been torn down, but we still have Nantasket Beach. Even though it is very rocky it draws thousands for the brief Summers.
Hull is a penisula that juts into the Atlantic. I like going there any time of year and watching the ocean. There's not much else to do there.

"condos"

they built these condos overlooking the ocean. What a great view!
