Kiki Beach Boston: Season 8

A couple weeks ago the Kiki Beach Instagram account announced the start of their eighth season.

For those who are unfamiliar with this weekend tradition, eight years ago members of the LGBTQ+ community started going to one section of M Street Beach in Southie on Saturdays. Depending on the weather and week sometimes there are a handful of LGBTQ+ people and sometimes there can be a hundred or more. Over the years, Kiki Beach went from being a Saturday event to both Saturday and Sunday.

To help you know which part of the beach the LGBTQ+ community tends to set up for Kiki Beach, check out the map below but for additional guidance, you’ll find most people between the first and second bus shelters (if you are walking away from the L Street Bath House). But when in doubt look for wherever there is a cluster of men standing, chatting, and wearing speedos.

If you will be in Boston this weekend come and check out Kiki Beach. Most people arrive after 12PM, but Sergio and I are often among the very first, arriving by 11AM.
