Canoe Beach
Canoe Beach is located on Nahant Road in Nahant, Massachusetts. This small residential beach has limited parking that is strictly enforced. Rocky, filled with seaweed and debris, this beach is not ideal for catching the sun’s rays or playing in the water; the cove view, however, makes the stop worthwhile. Adjacent Memorial Point offers benches and a grassy area with trees to escape the hot sun on warm summer days.
