About Revere Beach

Revere Beach, MA (date unknown).

History

Revere Beach is over 3 miles of coastline, and is just 5 miles North of Boston. In 1875, a rail link was constructed to the beach, leading to its increasing popularity as a summer recreation area.

In 1896, the land was claimed for public use making it the first public beach in the Unites States.

Although, one of the oldest declared public beaches, it’s popularity hasn’t waivered. Today it continues to gain popularity for its vibrant community, and close access to the Boston’s MBTA Blue Line which allows many visitors to come during the summer season.
