Local moves
Take the MBTA Commuter Boat from Boston Long Wharf or Hingham -- the boat dock is a 10-min walk from the beach and avoids parking entirely.
Three DCR lots line Nantasket Ave -- all $20/car in peak summer. Metered street parking on Nantasket Ave is $3/hr and easier to find on weekday mornings.
The lots fill by 11 AM on summer Saturdays -- aim for a 9 AM arrival or take the ferry.
Call DCR Nantasket at (617) 727-5290 for live parking status before driving out on peak summer weekends.
