One day visit to Revere Beach, Boston, Massachusetts 

Love this beach. In my heart always

Thanks for sharing. Some memories of Revere from the 1960s. Several times every summer, dad drove our whole family in our non-air-conditioned brown station wagon to the ‘rides’ at Revere Beach. It was a short trip to the storied amusement park by the sea, and once we found a parking spot, we made our way excitedly to the action along the long boulevard, spending time twirling on the Flying Horses, defying gravity on the Round Up, and strolling the wide lit up sidewalks. People from all walks of life slowly passed us by as we all melded into a moving web of humanity enjoying a summer evening. Across the street was the sand and ever-present ocean, where just a few hours ago, thousands of sun and fun worshippers had laid out blankets, beach towels, and suntan oil, to soak up the hot sun. A few dozen teenagers still lingered and were leaning against the cement seawall, with a few of them making out in the darkness. As we made our way along the sidewalk, all of our senses were deliciously overwhelmed with the sights, sounds and smells of each open-air storefront. There were dozens and dozens of games of chance intermingled with carnival food like cotton candy, hot dogs, ice cream and pizza. Each stand was its own spectacle with several carnies shouting out “a winner every time,” and “only a quarter.”

My mom used to live in Revere Mass and can see the beach from her old house when she was a teenager

I love Revere Beach.

Awesome 👍

5 miles north of Boston? It’s less than a half mile from Boston! The passenger train you’re referring to was called the B.R.B&L.R.R. ( Boston,Revere Beach and Lynn Rail Road) It was a narrow gauge line with a loop that also ran out to Winthrop,Ma via Orient Heights in East Boston and was the only narrow gauge passenger line in the United States of America. All other narrow gauge lines were for freight or logging purposes only. Revere Beach was like Coney Island back in the day. There where amusement rides and concession stands along most of the strip and it was a favorite destination for Sailors visiting the Boston area.

You should've included the cute little shops across the street for ice cream and some of the best Chinese food in the area.
