Nahant Road will take you all the way through Nahant. About the Dive Canoe beach is a pebble beach in a sheltered cove. After an easy entry, the bottom becomes rocky. At low tide this formation will break the surface. This is a good location for a night dive.
Parking is a major concern at Canoe Beach.
Nahant Police eat their young. The only public parking in the whole town is off the causeway near the public beach. Your best bet is to find someone with a Nahant sticker.
