1.
Nantasket Beach is a strange summertime refuge for the greater Boston area, located in Hull, MA. Once upon a time, Nantasket Beach was home to many recreational activities such as Paragon Park and Uncle Sam's disco. Nowadays, it is home to recreational activities such as petty theft and whip-its.

Did you hear about the new place that opened where the Penny Arcade used to be? Oh wait, nothing new ever opens on Nantasket Beach because the place is an economic black hole!
