Smith Beach is a small sandy beach located on Edgehill Road near the intersection of Beachwood Road. It is also known as Smith’s Beach and Swift’s Beach and is mainly used by locals in the East Braintree neighborhood. The beach is maintained by the town with the help of the East Braintree Civic Association. The quiet spot offers a view of moored sailboats, green marshland and the river. Smith Beach operates 7 hours daily depending on the tides. See the posted schedule at the beach weekly to learn when the lifeguard will be on duty. Swimming at when the lifeguards are not on duty is not permitted. No-parking signs are posted along the street, but there is ample parking in a designated lot. The beach can also be reached by walking a footpath called the Tolman Walkway, which connects with Watson Park, home to several baseball fields and a “splash pad” water playground. The nearby bathhouse is often closed.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
- Passed water quality tests 60-95% of the time
