Baker Beach is located on Palmer Road in Quincy, Massachusetts. Baker Beach is a small beach area with a large playground. The sandy area of the beach is minimal, but the real appeal of this beach is the playground and enclosed grass area.The beach itself has layers of seaweed and debris that has accumulated with scattered rocks near the water. A picnic table and two benches are provided with plenty of space for kids or dogs to run around. If in the Quincy area and looking for a place to stop for the kids to play, Baker Beach is a great option over a traditional park.
