I’m visiting Boston for work soon and I enjoy ocean swimming at home in California so no stranger to cool/cold water ocean swimming.

Pleasure Bay looks like a great place to train but I’ve read conflicting info. Some people have posted about doing distance swims. I’ve also read online the government there restricts things to a small guarded/roped off area which would not be appealing. I’d like to swim a long distance parallel to the beach. Can anyone comment on what the deal is? I wouldn’t want to be harassed or cited by a lifeguard.

If Pleasure Bay isn’t an option I’m so curious about the nearby beaches in South Boston.
