    Incredible beach when its low tide! This beach isnt accessible when its high tide since the water will hit the wall. The water has always been clean in my experience. Its more shallow than Devereux. It doesnt have that dip like Devereux has after a few feet. There are lots of kids so really great for families. We donโ€™t have kids but still find it to be a great time and there arenโ€™t children on top of us. At low tide, you can walk to Phillips Beach! Parking is very limited and I believe costs $20 if not a Swampscott resident. We usually have someone drop us off or weโ€™ll walk/ride bikes. Keep in mind there are stairs down to the beach.

    Hidden gem and arguably the best beach in Marblehead/Swampscott. Make sure to check the tide before you go. Beautiful for sunrise, well managed, and clean property. Parking available but limited/paid in the summer.

    Beautiful sweet spot for beach-goers and tranquility - most months, even in peak summer - and especially at dawn, 4 times a year (Solstice and Equinox)

    Y'all need to go to Preston beach. The park surrounding the beach is awesome. I love the interactive monument that pays homage to the solstice. great place to just "be"

    This is a local beach, and it might be rancked as one of the top ten privileges of living in Swampscott. It is a tiny beauty, yet it must leave you with an enormous memory of happiness. It's a beach that can be enjoyed no matter what season it is
