The bathing beach is nice beach. It has a boat ramp, a bath house coming soon, and life guards. There is a grassy area with talk of a playground going in. The slope of the beach is pretty gradual, so it is great for families with younger kids. The only reason I don’t give it 5/5 is because the bottom of the water area is rocky at parts and very muddy at parts.

Beach is perfect for family outing. Less crowded, and calm place. Not a open ocean, lots of boats can be seen.

This is a beautiful, quiet, and quaint spot to sit by the water and enjoy a picnic lunch or a sunset snack, or even a picnic dinner. There are many couples and families enjoying the views of this well maintained community beach. The beach also seems to be popular with people on paddle boards and in kayaks off in the distance. A highly recommended spot to enjoy the scenery without big crowds. There is parking for guests. A separate parking area is for residents. The entrance to the resident lot is marked. So, simply go to the appropriate parking lot.

Its a beach. The people who recommended that you go during high tide have a point. I went there on low tide.

Great place to take little ones so they can run around. We hit the Hingham Lobster Pound before we go here and have a little picnic under the trees. Great spot for a little day trip.

The Hingham bathing Beach is a quiet, not overcrowded area long 3A with a small Park, where a person can relax.

Love the water and parking but the sand sucks

Mr

Beautiful place to just chill.

Sa
Review №24

The sand is the type of muck that, when wet, will grab your foot and suck it in. Good place for sunbathing, or eating lunch, but not really for swimming.

Great place to take the family. We take our granddaughter. She loves it. The kids playground, the old carousel, the little arcade. The best thing is the beach is clean. Spend all day with the kids.

Nice open beach. Decent waves

Need to watch the tides. For about 4 hours each day [2 hours either side of high tide] the tide is high enough for good swimming. Swimmers quickly learn to watch and calculate the tides of Boston Harbor. Life Guards are there to open the bathhouse and watch the marked swimming area. In the deep water is a wooden float. This pretty, small beach within easy walking distance of town. Parking is still free. A good bicycle rack is available. Dogs are not allowed on the beach in the summer, and trash is “please carry out what you carry in”

Quiet and clean, no dogs allowed, neat spot! I would love it were dogs allowed, but still neat!

Nice & quiet, clean but kind of icky during low tide. Shore is really muddy and sucks you in if you try to walk out. Perfect to lounge, not ideal if you actually want to swim

Review №63

This little gem of a beach is great. Being there at high tide is optimal for paddle boarding or kayaks because its a little muddy otherwise. View is a great, crowd is small and easy in and out.

It was a special day

Ca
Review №67

Not like it used to be when I was a kid. So sad to see these places in such decline. Todays generations social gathering is online and not physically going to a place to socialize. Not to mention it is simply so expensive compared to, the good ol days.We had a great time as we were there for a car show and well be coming back again next year as well.

Review №68

Nice place to visit on the 4th clean restroom

Je
Review №69

I love that theres a short distance from the car to the water and great visibility. For a mom with two kids running around and a baby to take care of it really helps. I find this beach a lot more manageable for us than others. The water is a little muddy, but the kids dont seem to mind and we just make sure that they get baths as soon as we get home. Its just an easier beach for moms, especially if your there without another adult to help!

I love it there. I go in the summer for swimming and having picnics on the green grass with picnic tables over looking the water and I went today to enjoy looking at the water while having my coffee in my car....Always free parking....very pretty.....

Has sand high or low tide. Theres an area roped off just for swimming. You can swim anywhere though. Lots of kayaking and boating going on. The parking is FREE, which is a huge plus. Theres not big waves here, or waves really at all.

This is for the Farmers Market at the beach. Always a lot to chose from local farmers. Quality is always good. It is a little pricey but worth it.

What a great park!

Review №86

Its a nice little beach one of the few beaches spots in Hingham to sit and hang out, watch the boats, enjoy the sun. Its also a nice fairly calm spot for paddle boarders and kayakers to lunch from. Plus there are two grassy areas you can sit under the trees in the shade and relax. It is a harbor so the water can get oily from the boats at times but overall its pretty nice.

Review №89

Better beach since the town made improvements. The ocean floor in the harbor is mushy underfoot which I find intolerable without water shoes. Great place to relax and read a book though. Also, they are lacking in the bathroom facilities. Last couple times I went the bathroom building was locked

It might be an overall beach around my house, if you have kids and want to enjoy some time watching them playing this might be the best place to come.

Here in a Friday August afternoon. Easy too get to and from parking. Soft sand a plus... Large bouy lined swimig area near Hingham ports. Clean and fairly quiet. A few families here enjoying the summer day. No nightlife and restaurant about, so if you like that go to nantasket beach in Hull.
