Alewife Brook Reservation is a Massachusetts state park located in Cambridge, Arlington, and Somerville. The park is managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Horseneck Beach is located on the western edge of Buzzards Bay, just east of the southeastern corner of Rhode Island. Along with Salisbury Beach, found north of Boston, it is one of the state of Massachusetts' busiest parks and beaches. There are more than two miles of swimming beach. That expanse of beach comes in handy during the summer since so many people visit Horseneck Beach State Park.
