Friends of Winthrop Beach
About
Friends of Winthrop Beach is a group that puts on free public events on Winthrop’s beaches, in its parks and at other local venues. Summer is the busy season. Recent programs have included Sunday Morning Yoga on the Beach, which has become an annual event, Paint the Beach with artist Jason Osburn, and Movie Night on the Beach, which in 2023 showed films such as “Luca” and “Miracle” on large digital screens.
The group also brings in speakers, such as shark researcher Dr. Gregory Skomal, whose presentation was recorded and shared as a video. Events are made possible by support from Save the Harbor, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Town of Winthrop, along with sponsors and individual donors. Paint the Beach, for example, was funded by a grant from Save the Harbor.
