Hit the beach, watch the sunset🌊

Hingham Harbor Bathing Beach

 A family-friendly beach with ample parking and the beach is truly public, yes FREE.

Be sure to plan your visit for high tide – mud flats at low tide mean that the beach is good for picnicking but little else. 

If you’re beach-bound on a Saturday, keep in mind that much of the parking lot adjacent to Bathing Beach is home to the Hingham Farmer’s Market from 9AM-1PM (from May until November). 

If water sports are more your thing, Hingham Recreation rents kayaks and stand-up paddleboards ($30 for a two-hours rental) on Wednesday mornings from 7AM – 11AM and on weekends on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 7AM-7PM.
