The award winning pedestrian walk at Constitution Beach

Constitution Beach is a major regional Boston Harbor beach, providing a diverse mix of activities and facilities for the East Boston community and the region's residents. Renovations completed last year include a new playground, an award winning pedestrian overpass, parking, handball courts, major landscaping additions, beach resanding (including 8,000 tons of new sand), shade shelters, and foot showers. Construction of a new bathhouse will be completed for the summer of 2003. A mobile concession stand is open when lifeguards are on duty. Owned and operated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation.

Access: Two hundred and eighty parking spaces are available which fill up quickly on any sunny summer day. The beach is accessible by taking the MBTA Blue Line to Orient Heights station or by MBTA bus #120 which stops at the Bennington Street entrance of Constitution Beach.
