Laura, Daisy and I walked the boardwalk recently and I went for a run from the bocce courts to an empty lifeguard chair and back. I like running on sand in general, and the Southie surface felt fine, as did the refreshing sea air. Ahead lay Castle Island, the old fort where the USS Cassin Young, a World War II-era destroyer, went for turnaround cruises from the Charlestown Navy Yard back when I was a National Park Ranger in the late '90s/early aughties.
Carson Beach is not just for runners and walkers. We have also seen volleyball games, including repeated two-on-two battles between four intense fellows one night. The losers of each game would drop and give 20 pushups on the sand!
