Nantasket's # 1! Nantasket's #1!



Boston.com - With the summer beach season under way, an environmental advocacy group is releasing a first-ever list of the Boston-area’s cleanest beaches, putting Nantasket beach in Hull on top and King’s beach in Lynn at the bottom.

The report by Save the Harbor/Save the Bay — relying on 2011 swimming season data from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, Department of Conservation and Recreation, U.S. Environment Protection Agency — outlines the water quality conditions of 18 Boston-area DCR-run beach locations.

Well congratulations to Nantasket Beach but isn't ranking Boston area beaches a little like walking into a Wal-Mart and picking out the best looking person? It doesn't matter how clean it is inside when it's covered with rocks and fat people. I understand the convenience of the local beaches and girls like to lay out and guys like to look at them, but that's not enough to make me spend a day at any beach around here. For my money I'll wake up early, pack up the car and head over the bridge. Plus, my blood is way too warm for that frigid water at Nantasket, every time I step in I feel like my shins are gonna freeze up and break off of my leg.  Cape or bust.
