Yirrell Beach, Sandy beach in Winthrop, Massachusetts, US
Yirrell Beach stretches along Shirley Street in Winthrop with shallow waters extending 300 feet from the base of Water Tower Hill.
The southern section of this Massachusetts shoreline incorporates Point Shirley Beach, named after the surrounding neighborhood that developed over time.
The beach holds yearly community gatherings including a Sandcastle Festival in June and an Old Fashioned Family Day celebration in July.
The beach remains open 24 hours daily, though visitors should note the absence of public restrooms and limited parking spaces.
The natural jetty extending into the water creates opportunities to observe marine life during low tide periods.
