Swampscott is a small seaside city along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. This coastal town has upscale, luxurious neighborhoods with a close community. The education system here is superb. The high school was named a 2018 U.S. Department of Education National Blue Ribbon School. Spending a day on the beach is the most popular activity in the town and most residents go daily. Join one of the 10 yacht clubs in Swampscott or the renowned, member-driven Beach Club.
The community also bonds over local events held throughout the year. Purchase hand-crafted fine art and sample gourmet cuisine while listening to live music at the annual Swampscott Arts and Craft Festival. A giving community, some events also double as fundraisers. Pay it forward by participating in the annual Boston Fox Trot 5K or golf tournament. When residents aren’t enjoying nearby beaches, you can find them strolling through one of eight Swampscott parks. Take a hike through the Harold A. King Town Forest. Camping isn’t allowed here but the area is dog friendly.
Swampscott is a suburban beachside escape but is only 40 minutes away from Boston and some of the nation’s top institutions of higher learning including Harvard University.
