ABOUT HULL MASSACHUSETTS
Perched on a narrow peninsula stretching into Boston Harbor, Hull, Massachusetts is one of New England’s most charming and historic seaside towns. Known for its seven miles of shoreline—most famously Nantasket Beach—Hull blends classic coastal beauty with a relaxed, small-town feel.
Visitors come for the sweeping Atlantic views, the soft sandy beach, and the kind of simple, rejuvenating pleasures that never go out of style: long walks along the water, warm summer nights, salt-air breezes, and stunning golden sunrises that light up the coastline.
Beyond the beach, Hull offers a surprising amount to discover. Explore the Hull Lifesaving Museum, celebrating the town’s rich maritime history; wander the scenic trails at Fort Revere Park with panoramic views of Boston Harbor; enjoy waterfront dining and local seafood; or hop aboard the Boston Harbor Ferry, putting downtown Boston just a scenic ride away.
With its blend of natural beauty, coastal adventure, and easy access to one of America’s great cities, Hull is an ideal place to unwind, explore, and feel connected to the rhythm of the ocean.

PARAGON PARK LIVES ON
Paragon Park once lit up Nantasket Beach in Hull, Massachusetts with the magic of a classic seaside amusement park. From its opening in 1905 until its final season in 1984, families flocked to its wooden Giant Coaster, spinning rides, arcade games, and the lively boardwalk that made summer days feel endless. Though the park closed decades ago, its spirit lives on. Today, visitors can still experience a piece of that golden-era charm at the beautifully restored 1928 Paragon Carousel and the nearby museum that preserves the park’s treasured memories. Whether you grew up riding its famous coaster or are discovering its story for the first time, Paragon Park remains an unforgettable part of Hull’s coastal heritage.
