Revere Beach is a public beach in Revere, Massachusetts. It is located about five kilometers north of Boston, and was founded in 1896 as the first public beach in the country. In the past it was known as the Coney Island of New England. In summer it is a very busy beach where tourism is quite intense.

The beach began to deteriorate in the late 1960s, and by the early 1970s it had become a row of abandoned buildings, bars and venues. The late 1970s showed the end of this beach, as most of the boardwalks, pavement, businesses, and even the breakwaters, were destroyed.
However, in the early 1980s, Revere Beach was targeted for revitalization by the city, and was officially reopened in May 1992. Today, it has a large number of built-up areas, a beach with renovated sand, the restored boardwalks, and a beautiful boulevard completely rebuilt.
In 1996, Revere Beach commemorated the centenary of its first opening with a three-day celebration. In July 2004, Revere Beach was designated a National Historic Landmark.

Today, the beach is regularly used by thousands of tourists or people from the surrounding area who want to enjoy a great day at the beach. More and more investment is being made, both private and public, including $9 million in state funding for new renovations.
The beach is in very good condition, especially for a city beach, where thousands of people arrive every weekend seeking to escape the noise and pollution of the city. Keep in mind that not all people take care of the beaches as they should, and we can find objects lying somewhere on the beach, although it is not usual.

There are many services available, with ice cream parlors next to the beach, plenty of parking, places to eat and drink something refreshing (especially fast food), and clean sand just like its waters. There are even sand sculpture competitions, where you can see true wonders.
The beach is quite wide, so even if it is very crowded, we can find a place to settle without problems. Depending on where we stand on the beach, we can see the planes landing and taking off, although in general and being such a large area, what predominates is silence and tranquility.
