A small DPH-monitored neighborhood beach on Quincy Bay. The state tests the water here in season and posts its status, but the city publishes little else about the spot, so expect a bare-bones shoreline access rather than a staffed beach.
What to expect
Swimming
Water not monitored off-season
Dogs
Quincy requires dogs to be leashed whenever off the owner's property; an unleashed dog draws a $50 fine, and the Quarry Street dog park is the off-leash exception.
