Revere Beach, located just north of Boston, Massachusetts, holds the distinction of being the first public beach in the United States, established in 1896. This historic shoreline stretches nearly three miles along Broad Sound, offering a wide sandy beach, a lively promenade, and a rich heritage. The beach’s easy accessibility by public transport makes it a popular destination for both locals and visitors looking to escape the city.

The beach itself is comprised of a long, flat expanse of sand, making it ideal for walking, jogging, or sunbathing. Swimming is possible during the warmer months, though the Atlantic waters can be a little brisk. Kite flying, volleyball, and beachcombing are also popular activities along the shore. Revere Beach is also home to the famous weekend-long Revere Beach Sand Sculpting Contest, the largest sand sculpting festival on the East Coast.

Revere Beach offers a variety of facilities for visitors, including restrooms, changing rooms, concessions, first aid stations, a bandstand, a pavilion, and the iconic Kelly's Roast Beef, known locally for its lobster rolls. Lifeguards are on duty from late June to early September, ensuring safety during peak summer months. Accessibility is a priority with paved walkways and beach wheelchairs available for visitors with mobility challenges. Visitors can access Revere Beach via the MBTA Blue Line, with stops at Wonderland and Revere Beach stations. Free 4-hour parking is available along Revere Boulevard, with additional public parking at the Wonderland T station for a fee. Dogs are not allowed on the beach from April 1 to October 1, open flames are prohibited, and visitors are expected to follow rules regarding littering and alcohol consumption.
