Lynn happens @ night

Which town has this much fun after sunset?  
Lynners and city visitors crowd the boardwalk of Lynn Shore Drive on a typical Summer night:  Troopers trot through on horseback;  Friends walk the sandy shore;  The grass fields at Red Rock see many games;  Fishermen set stage on the southeast corner of Red Rock with fishing lines thrown over the wall into the ocean.  In the summer, before the sun sets, outdoor concerts are performed, sponsored by the Friends of Lynn and Nahant Beach, and once in a great occasion, an outdoor movie is played at night.  At times, the moon is reflected in the gentle waves of the ocean.  During a storm, many visit the boulevard to see the waves crash over the wall.  And the fireworks show on the 4th, is with no doubt one of the best in the surrounding area.

Bike to the Sea is coming this way, and The Essex Heritage Scenic Byway is taking off from here.  

Most of the time, many just come here to enjoy a simple breath of fresh air by the ocean's edge, with great views of the Atlantic horizon.
