at M Street Beach |
L and M Street Beaches are
situated next to each other along Day Boulevard in South Boston. These
popular local beaches provide safe swimming conditions and are located
near the full-service L Street Bathhouse, which offers gyms, showers, and
many other amenities for a small membership fee. Recreational facilities
include exercise equipment, aerobics instruction, saunas, a snack bar, and
a public boat launch. As part of the "Back to the Beaches"
program, new sand, additional lighting, and seawall construction have been
completed at M Street Beach. Owned and operated by the Department of
Conservation and Recreation and the City of Boston.
Access: There is curbside
parking available along Day Boulevard and easy pedestrian access from many
South Boston neighborhoods. The beach is also accessible via public
transportation. Take the MBTA's City Point buses #9 and #11, to the L or M
Street stops, which depart from the MBTA Red Line's Broadway Station. Then
walk the short distance to the beach.
