A ROUND THE SOUTH SHOR E
Kingston
Kingston makes living by the beach on the South Shore
accessible. Right in town is the Old Colony commuter rail
that reaches South Station in less than an hour. While there
are still a small number of professional fishermen and
cranberry growers in Kingston, many residents commute to
work in Boston, and opt to avoid traffic by hopping on the
train.
Kingston stretches from Kingston Bay inland to Silver Lake.
On one side of town is the shore, where Grays Beach is
located. The popular sandy beach also has a sizable green
space, covered picnic tables, a playground, a basketball
court, and a multisport court. This is also where you’ll
find the Rocky Nook neighborhood. The former summer
community is now filled with year-round homes that are
steps to the coast, providing easy access to sunrises and
moonrises throughout the year.
Those who are into hiking can spend time in places like
Kingston State Forest, Cranberry Watershed Preserve, and
Sampson Forest, all of which have paths through the woods.
There’s biking on some of these trails, as well.
