Fisherman's Beach
About this place
Distinct swimmable Humphrey Street beach with a pier and boat launch ramp, separate from the town's already-listed Kings Beach. It's the only Swampscott beach where fire permits are issued, but it's unclear from official sources whether that permit covers portable charcoal/propane grills or only open bonfires.
