Everything about this trip was perfect, from the friendly and informative park rangers, to the entertaining boat captain, to the lighthouse keeper in period costume and the helpful Coast Guard Auxiliary on the island. Make sure to get a climbing ticket if you can, the actual light is gorgeous and the view is stunning. I have sailed in and around Boston Harbor for 20 years and still found this trip to be informative and great fun.

The strip of beach on Hull Ave was ours for four days. It was so nice to have plenty of space during covid times to enjoy this beautiful beach stretch. The surrounding areas are great for walking, dining and quality time. We definitely recommend checking this area out.
3. Paragon Carousel and Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 58 reviews
The Paragon Carousel has been operating along the shores of beautiful Nantasket Beach for 90 years. Built in 1928 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, it is the last remaining attraction from the Paragon Park amusement park that closed in 1985. Kids of all ages will enjoy a ride on “the painted ponies”. Then move to the Paragon Park Museum next door to learn about the park’s founding in 1905 and its evolution from a Victorian era “exposition” to a late 20th century amusement park. Hear modern recordings of early 1900s songs about a trip to Paragon Park. Marvel at a scale model of the Giant Coaster and watch a “rider’s view” video (complete with screams!) of a front car trip on the classic wooden coaster (hands up!). See an original Kooky Kastle cart and the scale from George Kasian’s “Guess Your Weight” shack. And stop at The Restoration Studio to check on the progress of the latest Paragon Carousel horse being brought back to its original beauty.

Myself, my wife and two year old son visited the carousel and the creamery each evening during our four day mini vacation. The staff were awesome and made us feel very welcomed. The creamery ice cream was amazing! We absolutely recommend the carousel and Creamery to everyone! We will definitely go back next visit to Nantasket Ma!

The museum is located in a beautiful 1889 Lifesaving Station with views of Boston's outer harbor and islands along with the first lighthouse built in North America, Boston Light. The museum chronicles the history of the lifesavers who risked their lives to save fellow mariners in peril along the rocky coast. Check out the lifesaving Surf boat "Nantasket" on display in the "boat room" along with many artifacts, photos and charts. The museum also features a quaint gift shop with many interesting items for sale.

If you find yourself in Hull, or the South shore, looking for a place to either get out and walk around yourself or someplace to take the kids or dogs to run around, the Fort Revere Park is a great place for that and more. The views from the old fort on a clear day or excellent for spotting the harbor islands, and the tower gives you even better views.
