User reviews
"After speaking with several individuals, it seems that many of them favor other beaches nearby. Although the sand can be a bit rough on the feet, I found that wearing sandals made my experience quite enjoyable. The water temperature in early August was pleasantly warm, which was the highlight of my visit. Additionally, the sunrise was spectacular."

"I had the pleasure of lounging at Carson Beach. As the evening approached, the atmosphere became even more delightful with the sound of beach volleyball games in the background. The view of the old harbor was breathtaking and it was fascinating to observe the numerous airplanes preparing to land at Logan International Airport."
