Nahant Beach Boulevard
Nahant Beach Boulevard, Coastal parkway in Nahant and Lynn, United States.
The 1.5-mile road connects Nahant to the mainland at Lynn, passing through Nahant Beach Reservation with views of Boston Harbor and coastlines.
The boulevard, designed by Olmsted firm in 1905, marked the first paved access to Nahant as part of Metropolitan District Commission's oceanfront parkway development.
The roadway includes the Lynn Rotary and Spanish-American War Memorial, gaining recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation manages both the parkway and adjacent Nahant Beach Reservation, which features 67 acres of recreational areas.
In 1936, the original roadway transformed into a parking area, with the current road constructed the following year on former railroad tracks.
