WHY RANK?

0 - Castle Island Beach
This place is a great escape on a warm day. I love the big loop through the park and around the beach that you can walk or run around. While I don't think...The best part about Castle Island beach? That dude who walks around with a cooler yelling, "Ice cream, a dollah!" selling fudgesicles. The worst part?...Waves of Castle Island nostalgia sweeping over me.

Drop me at the curb with some sunscreen and a beach towel and I'm good to go! This was a fantastic beach: cool rocks to climb on at the opposite ends, not...Crane Beach is my all time favorite, but I think Singing Beach is a close second. I took the Commuter Rail here like many Yelpers suggested. No problems,...Since I don't have a car, I seldom leave the city.

rollerskating rocks! the good: going 'round in circles for a few hours for $10. the bad: teenagers zipping by you, reminding how much you suck at roller...I went here on a date thinking it would be cool and fun but it was a dangerous drag. During less than an hour of skating I was knocked down once and bumped...Chez Vous has its roots in the past, with more than 70 years as the best roller rink in the area behind it, but it's moving into the future with programs in...

0 - Daly Memorial Rink
As public rinks go, this one is pretty good. These facilities aren't frilly -- you get cheap entrance, cheap rental, and several hours for fun.

Went here with a friend expecting the worst, but was surprised that it wasn't that bad. I haven't been rollerskating in about 20 years, so I was a bit...Good god, other people's children are my nightmare! Don't get me wrong--open skate on Sunday is kickass--$7 gets you all the skate time you can handle plus...Roller World is an awesome place to go roller skating. It only costs between $5 and $6 depending on what day you go and that includes a pair of roller...
