Description
Pleasure Bay Beach in South Boston offers a peaceful escape with a gently curving sandy shoreline nestled along Boston Harbour. Its calm, sheltered waters and soft sand make it perfect for easy-going beachcombing, sunbathing, or simply taking in the coastal scenery with views toward Castle Island.
This beach supports a variety of watersports beyond swimming. Enthusiasts can enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing, and even kitesurfing in the right conditions. The adjacent Harborwalk provides a paved route for walking, biking, or rolling, ideal for family outings or a scenic exercise session.
Amenities are well-maintained, with lifeguards patrolling in summer, restroom and first aid facilities nearby, and seasonal offerings like beach mats and wheelchairs to enhance accessibility. Parking tends to fill up quickly on warm days, and note that dogs are not allowed during the peak season. It’s also easy to combine your beach visit with a historic stroll around Castle Island and Fort Independence.
