At low tide it does get shallow up next to the jetty near the beach. Watch for rocks on the bottom. Can easily snag a fin or your board. Also no fun to fall on one either. Rock wall around upwind side in a southerly, which makes for the most amazing glass riding anywhere. This is why experienced riders go here.

A sailing center is downwind and there are two dam like openings, in the wall, through which the tide flows through. When the tide is outgoing, you need to stay well clear of this area. Launching is tight but there is enough room. Good quality sand. The beach is tight at high tide. Launch is at southwest corner of the bay. Launching can be tricky here and is not for beginners. Assisted launching is highly recommended even for advanced riders. Completely enclosed, it is a half mile circle. This is not a beginner spot. If you can't self rescue, self land, and stay upwind you should not ride here, period.

Northerlies you need to go somewhere else, though it works in an easterly but there are better spots from this direction locally. Not a beginner spot, the gusty wind will drive you nuts, and you will drive other people nuts. Sometimes not a lot of wind right on the surface, which makes relaunching your kite tricky, and of course there are the dams where the water flows in and out with amazing velocity.

Respect the local beach goers, there can be a lot. Off limits in July and August during the day. Not a good beginner spot, go to Revere, Nahant or Nantasket instead until you can stay upwind. There is a wind shadow at the launch on Southerlies, so the wind is super gusty. Ask a local about local issues and restrictions. If no one is kiting there it's because the condition are wrong.

You will just get in the way of others and if you drop your kite in the drink you will never get it back up. There are various wind shadows depending on the direction of the wind. So this is a tricky spot to ride and even advanced riders sometimes have to do the swim across the bay because they can not relaunch their kite off the water. This also means that this is not a spot for flying trainer kites. A number of kiters have put their kites in the power lines behind the road on the downwind part of the bay. You can fly trainer kites on the outside beach near the sailboats but watch for people. A better beginner beach in Boston is Revere Beach. According to FAA regulations, flying kites in easterly wind is prohibited, as the approach for Logan airport is directly over the bay.
