Review & FAQ:
Carson Beach is a popular public beach in the South Boston neighborhood, a part of a 3-mile-long line of parks along the Boston shoreline. The beach is sandy and smooth, with lovely views of Boston Harbor. It is suitable for swimming only in the midsummer, and the water is cold most of the year. It is the westernmost beach as you head from the Castle Island, after the L and M Street beaches. The old bathhouse has been renovated recently, the water quality is strictly controlled, and the facilities are extensive. The beach became notorious after the racial conflict in the mid-70s, when African American residents demanded equal access to the beach and the bath house.
