Quincy Shores Reservation — Attraction in Quincy

So beautiful. Years of history with the area occupied originally by Native American tribes, then English settlers, and now, a very diverse population -- yet so much of the area is still well preserved as it was before outsiders arrived.

There is Black's Creek where the tides were used to run a grist mill. There's the beautiful Wollaston beach where clams were dug and fish were caught. There is a salt marsh and meadows along the way.

Today, kids take sailing lessons on the lake -- and there's canoeing, picnics, and swimming.

On the beach, some of the best fried clams and scallops around. There is a beautiful boardwalk with lots of social activity, walkers, joggers, dogs, and kids. Along the way, you can read history and interesting facts. And there's playgrounds and public bathrooms, too.

Also, there is the tour of President John Adams' estate, birth place, summer home, and burial grounds. Not to be missed.
