Thank you for sharing our beautiful revere beach ..its my life here..it had rides and arcades for miles ..3 roller coasters..it was the most amazing beach back in the day as kid..an amusement park along the ocean.
Hey Lisette, thanks so much for watching! I agree, Revere Beach is such a special place! Not too many beaches with such a long boardwalk. Lots of restaurants to go for lunch and ice cream after....and the watching the planes land is pretty cool, too! You're lucky to have experienced the amusement park, the photos look amazing!
I was born in Revere in 1942. Some of my family lived down by the beach, we lived up off Park Avenue. In the summer my mother would take us to the beach by bus just about every day and we would meet up with the cousins, etc. The mothers packed lunches and we would spend most of the day there. Back in the 50's there were all type of rides (carnavale), eating spots, bowling alley, night clubs. etc. The big draw was the "Cyclone" rollercoaster also the "Virginia Rail" I saw the beach about 4 or 5 years ago - condo's condo's condo's. I live in Florida, been here over 50 years, same thing down here. They built up the beach front with condo's and it's hard to find a place to just sit and relax. My memories of Revere are wonderful, for me it just isn't the same.
Hey Jacqueline, thanks so much for watching! Revere Beach is such a beautiful place! It's funny you mentioned the condos, I was actually reminded of Florida when walking down the boardwalk. I like how there's so much to do right on the beach - lots of restaurants and ice cream places, all within a short ride of downtown Boston. It sounds like Revere was a great place to grow up. Too bad the rides are no longer there, were they damaged in a hurricane or storm?
Thank you for the informative video! I’m visiting next week. I will take you exact route. Anyone ever tell you your voice sounds a lot like Ray Romano?
Hey Christopher M, thanks so much for watching! I'm sure you'll enjoy, Revere Beach is a beautiful place. I never heard any Ray Romano comparison.....until TH-cam, now I get it frequently LOL
Hey Luis, thanks so much for watching! Today was a bit chilly, but look forward to hitting up Revere Beach soon. It's worth the visit, you should definitely make the trip. Have a great weekend brother and thanks for commenting!
Thanks so much for watching, Luis! You've got an awesome spot, if I lived in the Boston area, I would move there myself. The only problem is, you're going to feel like you're on vacation every day LOL
@@JonathanBrowneMenzies Actually they are vacations haha, I´ll be in town for a couple days visiting some friends, they are the ones that live there, it´ll be my first time ever in Boston, only for 5 days, hoping to get to know around as much as possible, and even thinking about taking a bus and go to NYC, it´s only a 4 hour ride.
@@JonathanBrowneMenzies np glad you posted this. yes it was I miss it a lot. Used to go to kellys cream as a kid I believe it was called which was really good. I live in fl right now but plan on visiting when go up to Move to Maine. I always love to visit revere beach every once in awhile when up north.
Thanks so much for watching, AG! Wow, sounds like you have a great memory of Revere Beach! Here's to more great summer days ahead. Wishing you all the best, my friend!
Revere gets a bad wrap from the 80s and 90s with drugs, rough hoop eared woman and fights. Its nothing like 1985 anymore. Revere Beach is great. However, take the commuter Rail to Rockport, Gloucester to goto some beautiful picturesque beaches. Revere is gorgeous, bu Gloucester and Rockport have cool Marthas Vineyard/Nantucket styled Shopping streets with 99% less snobby people, and more down to earth folk. I recommend it! But I love Revere. Great history, Great everything.
Hey Massachoicetts, thanks so much for the info! I've never been to Gloucester or Rockport, but I plan to make it up there this summer. I like your description of MV/Nantucket style with more down to earth people. Summer can't some soon enough, that's for sure.
@@JonathanBrowneMenzies Oh tell me about it! I hope I can make it back up to MA this summer once the COVID has been controlled and he situation is safe.
A nice beach to visit off 128/95 cape ann heading to Gloucester is winngasheek beach it beautiful it cost 25 to park if you dont get there by say 830 or 9 am you may not get in. But at low tide there is a sandbar and also rocks you can climb on it's one of my favorite beaches and they also have snack bar and slush stands on beach after I think 4 PM its free
Thanks so much for the info, Deborah! Winngasheek Beach has everything I'm looking for in a beach, and the sandbar is a bonus! How far is it from Boston if I were to rent a car and drive up there?
Revere Beach is absolutely Gorgeous during the Summer. Has a few bars and restaurants, etc. Both of your co-workers are correct, however. While Revere Beach is gorgeous, should also be noted the Homeless tend to live along the Beach, especially at night in the Summer, and you will see the occasional needle or two. However, from what I can tell, the City is actively trying to keep an eye on the Beach.
Thanks so much for the info, Northeastbaseball! I was very impressed with Revere Beach and wouldn't hesitate to go back again during the day. I agree, it seems like the city is making an effort to market the beach, it seems to be very well maintained.
Though I generally prefer taking the ferry over to Spectacle Island from Long Wharf Revere Beach is lovely. It is rather hard to go wrong in the Boston Area. By the way if you visit Boston for the day consider getting a 1 day pass for 12 bucks. That 2.75 per trip adds up pretty quickly.
Sorry I think it's about 30 minutes but after the beach you go 15 min further up the the highway to rockport for some shopping also a nice place to visit
Thanks so much Deborah, that's not too far at all. It's great finding out about these places from the locals, I used to go to Boston and never leave downtown. Hope you're having a great weekend!
Hey 01hondascott, thanks so much for watching! Don't worry, I'm sure they would make an exception for your 3 legged cousin. All the best, I hope you enjoyed the video!
I use to go to the rides in like 1975 the clock I guess was there from the 1940s they would rent bathing suits and they had clock to know when to return the swim suit. 1978 snow storm finished the games and bowling alley kinda sad
WOW, I knew about the games on the boardwalk but I didn't know the history of the clock. That's so funny that they rented bathing suits and the clock was there to let you know when it was time to return them. Great and interesting historical fact, thanks so much Deborah!
Some good roast beef and pizza shops on the beach strip Grew up in Malden on the Revere city line! Spent plenty time all over north/south shore mass Miss the vibes Shirley Ave was know for bullshit, gangs drugs but that’s all over Boston area !
Thanks for the info, JB86! Seems like a great place now, although some people who grew up in the area say it was rough in the past. I like how the the boardwalk and beach seem to go on forever, kind of gives me of a West Coast vibe. Look forward to getting back there this month. Wishing you a great summer, bro!
@@JonathanBrowneMenzies no thank you for the vid! I’ve been far away from the east coast for almost 10 years it’s nice to see....the long board walk! Ahhaha summer never ends when your living in Hawai’i! Enjoy the rest of ya summah!
Hey Paul, thanks so much for watching! This video wasn't meant to be a history lesson. Having said that, please feel free to leave any helpful information in the comments section. Thanks so much, I hope you enjoyed the video!
My girlfriend lives in Medford. Two summers ago she wanted to go to Revere beach and get some lunch, walk around and sit on the beach. First off, the food we got at Kelly's was dog shit. I was looking forward to a plate of fried shrimp and they were all uniform pressed and frozen, thin, dry and disgusting. Her sandwich was gross too. Then we walked around and between the bums, nobody speaking English, the overflowing barrels and the sticky filth and grime it was terrible. Then we went to sit on the sand for a while and watch the ocean. It was like being on some dirty beach in a Third World shit hole with nothing but locals, loud, obnoxious kids and everyone talking loud and yelling in foreign languages. The icing on the cake? When we decided fuck it we had enough, I looked behind me and less than a foot from my hand was a used uncapped needle. What a fucking experience! I hadn't been there in probably thirty five years. Even back then it was nothing great, guidos cruising in cars with loud music and too many people but man, this place has really gone to hell. This past year they had a problem with gangs of kids showing up and fighting, so much so that large groups of police had to be called in to get it under control.
Sorry you had such a bad experience. I like Revere Beach because it's so accessible to Boston....no need to sit in traffic and go to the Cape when you can just take the Blue Line. Hope they'll continue to clean the place up because it's really beautiful. Thanks for watching, Justin!

I was there last summer, I'm going again in June i'm soo excited. I miss it soo much❤️
