A great public beach readily accessible by public transportation. Carson Beach repeatedly scores high marks as one of, if not the cleanest urban beaches in America. Cleaner water than Huntington Beach, Virginia Beach, Miami Beach etc. Not the best sand, but a fine view and great diverse crowds. It's nice to be able to get together at such a highly-accessible beach.

This is a great escape from the city. I feel like every year it gets a little cleaner, a little nicer and a little busier which is great. Still some room for improvement but still somehow a hidden gem for Boston that more people need to come experience in Southie. Also, this area close to the beach is finally improving in regards to real estate as people now want to live closer to the beach than in the past as more families move and grow into the city.

Very nice beach to spend an afternoon - Carson Beach ⛱️ - a must-see if you are in Boston!

Carson Beach in Boston is a coastal gem. Its sandy shores, picturesque views of the city skyline, and easy access make it a local favorite. The clean, well-maintained area is perfect for sunbathing and picnics. Families and friends can enjoy volleyball courts, a playground, and ample parking. While it can get crowded on hot summer days, the lively atmosphere adds to its charm. A must-visit for a quintessential Boston beach experience.

This place is really awesome. There’s plenty of walkways and sitting areas. The beach portion appears clean. A lot of room to lay out and soak up some sun. There was no lifeguard on duty at the time. Swim at your own risks. Great place to workout by walking, running, or yoga. Great parking if you can get there early. Right near the airport so you can see all the planes coming in for landing. Family friendly atmosphere

It was okay i got my walk on made it there and back the scenery was well social distancing everyone seems to be having fun it was definitely a good day for the beach i enjoyed my walk it's the second time I made it there so glad I moved to a place where I can get out more i been walking every day since I been here i love it Carson beach...9

Beautiful place to get away from the city. Even though it was winter when we went, the sand was beautiful, and the sky blue. Very peaceful in winter with friendly sea gulls. Definitely going back, although the lack of bathrooms is a deterring factor.

A back bay beach that doesn't look out to the ocean. We saw some folks sunbathing but you must bring mats or tents to have a good time. Even then it is mostly for sitting and reading a book, not necessarily for dipping in the water. The beach has a lot of pebbles and shells which could be beautiful if not for the glass shards, plastics and other trash that one will encounter. I tried bare feet walking on the sand and again, after 10 minutes I gave up and put my shoes back on. The sidewalk has some shaded benches which offer good relief but again, what would you be looking out to? Some buildings and housing on the other side of the shoreline.

A not so “hidden secret” of Boston anymore. Sure, the sand could be better and the water warmer, but overall ... you are steps from downtown so this beach is a gift.

Nice beach in the summer, preferably with short and flip flops. Also, good place to go running or walking.

Dog friendly and easy parking!

(Translated by Google) I did not find it the cleanest, you can see beautiful sunsets and it is very accessible by train. (Original) No me pareció la más limpia, se pueden apreciar hermosos atardeceres y es muy accesible llegar en tren.

It is home, and they've done a great job keeping it clean all summer.

Clean and quiet lovely place to chill.

Really nice beach, not so far from Boston downtown. Perfect to walk or run in a nice sunny day. Many people walking with dogs and enjoying the beach. There are no shops nearby so you need to bring your own beverage and food.

Personally think this beach is much better than Revere beach—cleaner and less crowded

Public beach located in South Boston. Fairly clean, with a party vibe usually. Can get busy in the summer. Decent parking opportunities, although covid protocols have eliminated many former spots. Carson isnt a 5 star beach, but its a solid 4.

Carson Beach is a big and beautiful beach in Boston, but not clean enough for my taste.

Excelent.very neat and tidy. I am holidaying in Boston. I go to Beach every day without fail and do evening walk along the beach. Then rest there and enjoy the climate.

Great place to bring the family to swim, walk, rollerblading , biking, plenty of great scenery.

It's free and clean what more do you want?

Great beach in southie Boston!

Carson beach is and has always been 1 of my favorite places. Ez access by train ,it used to be columbia station now its jfk. 5 minute walk to the beach. Or you can drive. Low tide it gets mucky and a kid explorer will have fun looking in tide pools and digging for clams. Ahhh the memories

What a awesome social place. So many people playing volleyball, walking, enjoying the balmy breeze. Perfect summer evening.

Clean sands, large pavilion with toilets and changing rooms. There are even a couple of vendor stands. However, parking is very limited.

Regretted the trip, the sand part of the beach was ok. Everything else was horrible. Parking was rare, water was muddy, the wet part of the beach was swampy and there were broken clamp shells everywhere, I happened to puncture my toe by one of those. We were there with kids so it was extra challenging for us, if you have to go here avoid bringing children.

The coolest summer spot!

Beach was mostly clean. Soft serve ice cream was expensive and ok.

The beach was beautiful today, very clean and not over crouded!

Stay away on carnival day they play the music so loud you can’t enjoy the beach. Ridiculous

Always can get a spot on the sand, music comes from the other side of the beach. Could be a bit annoying if you wanted to listen to the waves 😏

Very nice public beach! Plenty of shade,sun.Places to sit everywhere, explore, take your doggie friend for walks. Place to grab food and drinks opens at 10:30-11:00 am. Nice big bathhouse,sprayers outside to rinse off. Parking available, easy access ramps for wheelchairs. Nice atmosphere 💜 Good spot also plenty of beach to lay out on.

Nice beach!

The beach is full of rocks, debris, and trash.

Came here with friends and had a good time. The bathrooms aren't too dirty, and there's a food stand with a decent variety of sandwiches, ice cream, and other good beach treats. However the sand in the water is incredibly muddy and feels kind of gross, which made my swimming experience less than ideal.

Loved the beach.

Good

Clean beach but tough parking

(Translated by Google) Loved it (Original) Amei

I saw photos and thought it was a great sandy beach but is super muddy and gross. Only good for people who wants to play volleyball and never touch the water. Small parking lot

Excellent!!

Beautiful everything from the baths houses works!! Clean Beach.

Carson Beach on a December night in the Moon light ✨✨lovely...

So relaxing

The veiw is amazing!

Quiet, mostly professional ppl go there, perfect for couples, volleyball,suntan,safe for kids,lifeguards in site,really quiet. Beautiful girls, handsome men, and lgbtq friendly.

The clariry and viscosity of the water seems about right, as does the density and granularity of the sand, but I'm not a scientist. If you're looking to lay in the sand next to a body of water you can't go wrong here Facilities are a plus, but parking is limited.

Stopped here for a little beach time while in area, lots of beach glass, short walk to beach.

Big beautiful peaceful and gorgeous

Lovely view of aircrafts landing...

Love having this in Boston.

Free beach?
