Winthrop Town Pier

The Winthrop Town Pier is located at the Public Landing Pier Complex and is the center of maritime commerce for the Town of Winthrop. The pier is the primary landing for visiting mariners, commercial fishermen, and the Winthrop Ferry. The main pier is open to the public and offers scenic views of the harbor and the Boston skyline.

Winthrop Beach

A sunset image of Winthrop Beach from Highlands Park. Ever since the beginning of the Winthrop Shore Drive and Highlands Park renovation, I’ve wanted to get way down on the Highlands side and shoot Winthrop Beach. In this shot I’m down next to the seawall with Shore drive above me. Winthrop residents, Tower Hill and Deer Island come into sight as Shore Drive winds around the beach.

Winthrop Landing

Low-tide and thinning trees make for a pretty good view of the Boston skyline from the landing in Winthrop. There are quite a few pretty amazing views across the entire skyline from this little spot next to the Winthrop Yacht Club and Crystal Cove Harbor.

Coughlin Park

A fairly obscure spot, Coughlin Park’s cove is nicely hidden just to the east side of Coughlin Park, and a great view of Boston. Coughlin Park is a very nice area of Winthrop, Massachusetts located just a few feet from the water where the harbor searates downtown Boston and Logan Airport, from Winthrop. Just a couple of blocks in the other direction down Bay View Avenue is the ocean side of Wintorop. I’ve always enjoyed exploring the many hidden places in this area around the several coves. They almost all have wonderful views of not only Winthrop, but the Boston Skyline, as well.

Winthrop by the Sea

So, this little path around Winthrop Head and the water tower is my favorite shortcut along the shore when I want to avoid Shirley street. Traversing this area between Shore Drive and Deer Island is quite scenic. I enjoy shooting this time of year over near here since the lack of foliage permits greater visibility for the tower and dwellings along the shore. Lastly, I absolutely love this stone wall down here at the base of water tower hill. I’ve been shooting that wall for years from different perspectives. I’d love to see how much more of it there might have been 100 years ago.
