Yirrell Beach is a quiet sandy stretch located in Hull, Massachusetts, tucked along the south shore of Boston Harbor where it opens toward the Atlantic. Facing west along its transect into the inner harbor, this spot picks up wind swell and occasional rogue energy that wraps around the surrounding peninsulas, producing small, mellow waves well-suited for beginners and longboarders. Its remote feel and limited access keep crowds thin, making it a laid-back escape for Massachusetts surfers looking for uncrowded fun on smaller swells.
