Winthrop Shore Drive, Oceanfront parkway in Winthrop, Massachusetts, US.

The mile-long parkway extends along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline, featuring a wide promenade for walking and cycling alongside coastal views.

Charles Eliot designed the parkway for the Metropolitan Parks Commission in the 1890s, with construction completion occurring in 1900.

The parkway functions as part of the Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston, connecting multiple public recreational spaces in the region.

Visitors can access the parkway via MBTA Blue Line to Orient Heights station, followed by bus routes 712 or 713 to designated stops.

The 6-acre parkway earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 for its early 20th-century landscape design.
