10 Years ago Mayor Jared Nicholson had started a new event in our region he called the Lynn Shore Showdown. This event collaborated with, Beat The Streets New England, Friends of Nahunt Beach, Save The Harbor / Save The Bay and DCR Massachusetts to create a unique event that showcases his city’s beautiful beach! A decade later and Nahunt Beach has played host to families across New England and beyond for a day of fun and competition!
