Reviews
"I grew up here and still love exploring"
"The views of Boston were great, it’s a nice place for an afternoon stroll with a friend. However, this is not a place for kids to play. There’s dangerous cliffs, the area is naturally super windy, and there’s leftover trash in some areas from locals partying. Overall the walk is wonderful, but it’s not for everyone."
"Nice quiet place to walk. Very few other people and nice to see the harbor from different directions. I recommend walking all the way to the point up to the rocks. Very pretty."
"Great (albeit quite hidden) monument documenting American history and Native-American history in particular. It's a reminder that we are in stolen land and that Squantum, one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the state, was named after the Native-American Squanto and is home to more than one historically significant place for the Native Americans who considered them sacred lands before the Europeans colonizers arrived."
"Really off the beaten path. You might even think you’re not in the right place. But you are. Keep going. The monument itselg is a quick see...but the hidden beaches and the view if the Boston skyline are amazing. Great place for a picnic. This is a hidden gem in the city of Quincy. None of the official Quincy websites make mention of it."
