You don't need a car to get to the beach! Here are New England beaches that are accessible by public transportation.
Revere Beach, Revere
The 2-mile beach is a magnet for hordes of sunbathers and beach lovers who have access to a public bathhouse and, for those who want sea air but no burn, Victorian-style pavilions.
How to get there: MBTA Blue Line to Wonderland station. Short walk to beach. One way from Boston: CharlieCard $1.70; CharlieTicket or cash-on-board, $2.
