Fisherman's Beach

Fisherman's Beach in Swampscott provides public water access to Nahant Bay, a coastal inlet along the North Shore. This boat ramp facility is designed to accommodate smaller vessels, including kayaks and canoes, making it a convenient launch point for exploring the bay and surrounding waters. The site features a concrete ramp system suitable for hand-launching paddlecraft and trailered boats.

Paddlers launching from this location should be aware that Nahant Bay offers access to open ocean conditions beyond the immediate bay area. Weather can change quickly, so check conditions before heading out, especially if you plan to venture beyond the sheltered waters of the bay itself. The nearby Nahant area offers additional recreation opportunities, including beautiful coastal views and access to the Essex National Heritage Area. Parking is available at the facility, though paddlers should verify current hours of operation and any seasonal access restrictions before visiting.
