Howlands Landing Park

Howland's Landing Park sits on a hillside overlooking Kingston Bay in Duxbury's Standish Shore neighborhood, with both wooded and grassy areas plus interpretive signage and a launch area for small boats. It has a layered history: a summer camp called Blairhaven once stood here, before the Town of Duxbury bought the property in 2011 with Community Preservation Act funds to create the park. For a longer walk, continue up Crescent Street to the Myles Standish Monument State Reservation at the top of Captain's Hill.
