About Winthrop Shore Reservation
Winthrop Beach is the main beach of Winthrop, Massachusetts. It extends for approximately 1 mile along Winthrop Shore Drive. The beach begins off Crest Avenue at an area known as the "Green Bars", named for the green railings along the seawall. The beach ends at the base of Water Tower Hill. The ocean has five wave breakers known as the "Five Sisters" offshore to protect nearby neighborhoods from the large swells that occur during storms. Winthrop Beach is open year round to the public from dawn to dusk, and lifeguards are on duty from late June to early September.
