Reviews
"Small but nice"
"The thicket is a beautiful tiny space in an unwelcoming town. It has a diverse bird species and I was able to capture several recordings including an eagle. It's a nice birder place albeit super small. Nahant has no public parking or beach parking if you are not a resident. There are two parking spaces to walk the boardwalk and only to walk the boardwalk at the thicket. Don't go here hoping to visit Nahant... They don't want visitors."
"Beautiful and scenic area . Peaceful and filled with nice walking trails and areas to explore"
"Really nice wooden walkway but it's in a small wooded area in the middle of a neighborhood in Nahant. There is no parking and people around this area will call to have your car towed if you park near their property. Signs are posted around the area no parking almost doesn't seem like you are welcome there."
"Fabulous bike ride weaving in and out of Nahant neighborhoods including along the coast. Started in Swampscott and road along the beach via the Nahant causeway into Nahant. Highly recommend."
