Review & FAQ:
Pleasure Bay Beach is a popular summer cooling-off spot in Boston, a half-mile-long beachfront located next to the Massport’s Conley Terminal, right alongside 2,000 feet of docking, 60 acres of container storage, and six huge loading gantries. The beach is part of a park that is a brainchild of the famous Frederick Law Olmsted, who in 1897 suggested a continuous parkway from Franklin Park to Marine Park. The projects later connected Castle Island to the mainland. Pleasure Bay Beach is adjacent to City Point Beach and Castle Island, with the 2.2-mile hiking trail popular with runners, dog walkers, and nature lovers. The pebbled sand gradually slopes to the water, making the beach perfect for kids.
