Lovely hidden gem right on the water. There are beautiful views of the Boston skyline and the area is great for watching sunsets.

It was one of those hidden gems. There were very few people there that day. It's not a sandy beach so that probably deters a lot of people. There isn't a large parking lot and what there is is shared with a social club and a small school. But loved it. When I want to chill out I go to the beach and I can't relax if there are herds of people around. And this place was perfect.

Cool place for dogs but beware of a really nosey woman who spies on dog owners. We call her the dog poop patrol.

There is a short walking path to the "beach" which is a small cliff overlooking the Bay. There is also a short, steep path that goes up a hill and then down to the aforementioned cliff.

Nice little "beach" with great views. Good place to bring the pups for a walk and a dip. Interesting place to explore. Best to go at low tide so you can walk over to the other island. Great place to see across the Harbor and see the financial district.

Nickerson Park on Squantum. A beautiful walk during the Coronavirus.

Nice place to bring some food or a grill and brews and have a day of relaxation, seems like not too many people know about this beach so it never really gets that crowded... maybe i shouldn't post this to keep its secrecy 😅🤣 jk but people typically swim here, go fishing, jet skiing, whatever. Best part is when the tide is low, you can grab up some clams, mussels, oyster, etc.

Great place for a bike 🚲. Very clean and overlooks Boston! You can swim at high tide!

Quite nice and Calm place. Better visit late evening and then see city lights sitting on stones nearby a wrecked watch tower. Not that great as a beach but quite wonderful for evening walk or romantic sitting and admiring sea. A small hike is also there.

Great out of the way beach... very secluded

Nickerson is a quite, out-of-the-way, beach that is never crowded. The rocky shore offers beautiful views of the harbor and downtown Boston. Good for fishing, Great for photography, not so good for swimming though. They say you at low tide you can walk the spit to Thompson Island. But I have never tried, nor do I recommend it. The tide come in fast. And yes people have been stranded on Thompson Island in the past.
