Constitution Beach, Public beach in East Boston, Massachusetts.
Constitution Beach is a public beach in East Boston with a crescent-shaped shoreline and open sandy areas for swimming and relaxation. The grounds feature bathhouses, sport courts, picnic areas, food stands, and parking facilities to accommodate visitors.
The beach was created in the post-war years through a dredging and landfill project and opened to the public in 1952. The development was part of urban planning to provide East Boston residents with a modern recreational space.
The beach serves as a gathering place where neighbors meet throughout summer for swimming, sports, and leisure time. Community events here reflect the local connection to the waterfront and maritime traditions.
Visit during the warmer months when water and weather are pleasant and all facilities are open and functioning. The area has accessible parking and entrances for people with disabilities, plus shaded rest areas throughout the grounds.
From the shoreline, you frequently see large aircraft taking off and landing at the nearby airport overhead. This unusual activity makes the beach an interesting spot to watch both planes and the surrounding cityscape at the same time.
