1. World's End
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 267 reviews
Rolling hills and rocky shorelines offer sweeping views of the Boston skyline, while tree-lined carriage paths designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted make delightful walking trails.

World's End is home to exceptional views of Boston, the bay, and even the ocean as you look out over Nantasket and Hull. Broad meadows and a rocky shoreline are open for walking, though carriage trails provide a very well maintained main pathway around the peninsula. It's a common spot for sunsets, and is also a good place togo snowshoeing if there's a good accumulation. It's more difficult to kayak off the shore here - I recommend launching from Hingham Harbor instead and kayaking across the harbor to explore World's End instead. As a Trustees property, you can either enter for free as a member or pay a fee. Parking is pretty decent. Overall it's a beautiful spot, especially for a picnic, date, or just a walk around admiring the views. Birdwatching is also encouraged on the marsh or in the fields, and there is a bird blind structure by the marsh.

Park is huge and lots of good trails and a nice welcome center with some historical info. Cool fresh water spring that you can fill up at. Some cool old bunkers (unfortunately some graffiti - seems like it is a trend around the area to tag historical stuff - such a shame)

This single-screen cinema is a classic, with modern seating and a staff that is pleasant and accomodating. Seating in the balcony adds an interesting twist. Recently when we visited, they were having trouble with the heating system. Though the temperature was still quite comfortable, the staff offered the use of blankets and free hot beverages to get rid of the chill. They also run an eclectic selection of films.
