World’s End is the perfect spring and summer stop for a walk, swim, and picnic. The many scenic trails offer a beautiful vantage point looking over boats on the ocean and Boston’s skyscrapers off in the distance. You can either take it easy and go on some of the more level ground or climb through the middle hills that offer a better workout, either way it’s a pretty easy walk. Half way there’s somewhat of a beach on each side of the trail where I have swam before, and often see others doing. It’s not a super nice beach by any means and it’s rather shallow for a ways out, but it’s a lesser known spot to take a dip and cool off. You can bring dogs on the trail and take your picnic basket for lunch either plopping down in the grass or on one of their many benches sprinkled throughout the trails. Perhaps an eye sore, but porta potties can be found at the start of the walk and throughout the trail. Try to eliminate any trash/doggie bags before heading out as there are no waste bins throughout your walk. Definitely bring sunscreen if you’re visiting in the summer, as there’s not much tree canopy. I highly recommend making a reservation online in advance. This is basically for the parking lot, as there’s nowhere else to leave your car. On nice days the reservations can book up, so play it safe and book it a few hours in advance. Making a reservation costs $15, which is fine because the beautiful walk is so worth it. However, I reduced a star because you cannot cancel or get a refund for your reservation if you decide not to go, even if it’s well in advance. All in all, definitely add it to your places to checkout in the south shore area!

Amazing views and wonderful hiking area. Had a picnic with my girlfriend for her birthday and it was a great success. Having to buy tickets online was a minor inconvenience. Plenty of parking and hours of exploration.

I Love this place and you will too! It offers the perfect place for a picnic with family and friends. Or if you like to walk trails offers plenty of scenic views. While working, I purchased a sub from the local places in the area. Stopped here to enjoy my lunch and this location.

It was really pretty. They have nice views and lots of animals to see. It is a nice dog walking area and they are kid friendly. The only downside is that you have to buy a reservation to enter. But the reservations are relatively cheap, around $15.

Rocky point on the Hull side is good when the tide is running and you can walk there in <10 min. Tip is also good but the walk is longer. And into Hingham Harbor is nice if you see bird sign
Yes, there are plenty of nice clean areas to have a picnic.
You do if you want to park there
No, no playground. But lots of shoreline where kids can look for critters.
Same, but lot of grass to put your blanket and create a picnic
Call up the office and let them know, they're super friendly
Your reservation for a specific time to arrive. Once you're there you can stay as long as you like
On line at Trustees web site I believe
10$ for The Trustee's members, 15$ for non Trustee's members.
There is no lifeguard or designated beach. Yes we did go in the water. You'll see there are some spots for a dip.
$16 (8pp). 1 year family membership is about $60 and includes many other hiking areas in the state. http://www.thetrustees.org/ Yes, they accept credit cards.
Yes. Bikes allowed
Not sure. I know you can by a yearly pass from them
There are handicapped spots at the entrance
Not at world's end itself, there aren't rentals there. You could rent a kayak from the town of Hingham at the marina, near red eye coffee place and kayak over there.
No, camping is not allowed apart from special events hosted by the Trustees organization.
No other entrance or parking. But it may be helpful to realize that there are 3 parking areas along that dirt road. Don't give up until you get to the end. If there's no place to park, I would expect them to refund the fee.
