South Boston’s Carson Beach is one of the city’s most popular waterfront spots, with its wide sandy shoreline and views of Boston Harbor. Combined with its easy access from downtown and well-maintained facilities, it provides a convenient escape to the coast.

The beach is ideal for swimming, thanks to ongoing water quality improvements, and lifeguards are on duty during the summer months. The long, paved boardwalk stretches from Castle Island to the Kennedy Library, making it popular for walking, jogging, or cycling while taking in the fresh sea breeze. Beachgoers can also enjoy volleyball courts and picnic areas in Moakley Park behind.

Carson Beach is part of a larger stretch of South Boston beaches, including M Street and L Street beaches, which provide a variety of spots to relax along the waterfront. With its combination of urban convenience, historic charm, and coastal beauty, Carson Beach is a great place to unwind while still being in touch with the energy of Boston city.
