Nantasket Beach — Attraction in Hull

This is a very big and nice beach. The water was clean and clear, a greenish turquoise color, almost carribean-like, but I guess that may depend on the time of year that you go. Awesome place to take a walk!

Also, during the off-season, parking seems to be free as far as I can tell.

It's a great place to take a walk, and people generally seem pretty respectful about their pets running around which is only allowed during the off-season (October - May I think). Although I did have a lady who had her dog run up to me and put its feet on me.

I forgot to bring towels so me and my two teenagers sat on the rocks which seem like they were out there for...

The boardwalk has evolved a long way from its heyday of Paragon Park. Many of the storefronts by the beach are vacant, but the pillars of beach commerce are still there: pizza, fried seafood, ice cream, towels, shirts and knick-knacks. There's still a mini-golf place and a carousel. The beach itself is fantastic for body surfing - even on the calmest of days there are waves. Be warned that at high tide, there isn't much of a beach. At low tide, the beach is long and pleasant. Great for kids. There are two public bathroom facilities near the beach, including an outdoor shower for getting the salt off. Parking can fill up later in the day, so arrive early. Don't try to park in the residential areas - you'll...
