Simon J. Donovan or Donovan’s Beach is located on Pleasant Street in Winthrop, Massachusetts. Donovan’s Beach is unique; it offers few amenities but has a spectacular view of Boston and planes landing at Logan Airport. The beach is small, the sand is rocky, it’s filled with seaweed, and dune grass limits the beach size. The water is calm but the quality compared to other beaches in the area is poor, not the most appealing beach to make a day of. However, the real appeal is sitting on one of the benches and enjoying the view. If you’re looking for a beautiful sunset over the city Donovan’s Beach will provide it.
