Did you know there is a Boston Harbor Island you can walk to at low tide from Quincy’s Squaw Rock?
Thompson Island is a Boston Harbor Island that can be accessed at low tide by a large sandbar. This means you can walk from Nickerson Beach in Squantum, Quincy to Thompson Island. Many times each month, the tide will be so low you can walk across the “spit” and visit the beaches surrounding Thompson Island for several hours. It is a beautiful way to spend time outdoors.
The law that allows people to walk the spit from Quincy to Thompson Island is called the Colonial Ordinance. The Colonial Ordinance reserved three specific and important rights of public use within the private tidelands for “fishing, fowling, and navigation.”
