This urban beach features a continuous walkway, a seawall and several concessions on the other side of Quincy Shore Drive. During 1996, much of Wollaston Beach received a new layer of sand through the Metropolitan District Commission's beach restoration program. The MDC will be hosting community meetings to solicit public input regarding the design of major beach improvements at Wollaston Beach. The City of Quincy, the MDC, The Boston Harbor Association, and the Wollaston Beach Task Force are currently working together to resolve water quality problems. Wollaston Beach is directly accessible by foot from the many residential neighborhoods located along Quincy Shore Drive.
Ample parking is available.
Lovell's Island Beach is the only official beach on the Boston Harbor Islands. The beach features a beautiful, natural landscape with stunning views of Boston Harbor and the Boston skyline in the background. Water quality is excellent at this outer harbor beach. With improved water quality and upgrades to aging beach facilities, people are sunbathing, swimming, fishing and walking Boston Harbor's sandy beaches. Since that time, the Metropolitan District Commission, Boston, Quincy, Winthrop and The Boston Harbor Association have been working together to restore Boston Harbor beaches to their former glory.
