Quincy Shore Drive, Coastal parkway in Quincy, US
The four-lane Quincy Shore Drive extends for 4 miles along the Massachusetts coast, featuring a tree-lined median and waterfront views of Boston Harbor.
The Metropolitan Park System initiated construction of Quincy Shore Drive in 1903, completing the project in 1907 to connect residents with coastal recreational areas.
The parkway represents early 20th-century urban planning principles that integrated transportation infrastructure with public access to natural coastal environments.
Visitors will find angled parking spaces along the shore side of the drive, providing direct access to beaches and walking paths throughout the year.
The road design combines four distinct sections, including residential areas, beach reservations, and connections to additional parkways leading to Blue Hills Reservation.
