Quincy Shore Reservation, State park and shoreline in Quincy, US.
The Quincy Shore Reservation spans 87 acres along Quincy Bay, featuring a 2.3-mile beach that borders the Boston Harbor waterfront.
Established in 1899, the reservation includes Moswetuset Hummock, where Plymouth Colony commander Myles Standish first met Native American leader Chickatawbut in 1621.
The Department of Conservation and Recreation maintains this public space where residents gather for swimming, walking, and community events throughout summer months.
The reservation provides free parking facilities, seasonal lifeguard services from June to August, and beach wheelchairs for visitors with mobility requirements.
Moswetuset Hummock within the reservation holds linguistic significance as the location that influenced the naming of Massachusetts state.
