        Yes! A great place to take a walk, in any season, even if you're
not a tower geek. But you get a good zoomed-out look at the WBZ towers in
the context of being in the marsh behind the sea wall, right there just
about as much in the ocean as towers can get but you don't need an outboard
motor to get to them (on most days). And the neighborhood is just one- and
two-storey houses packed in on small lots, so the towers look huge. There's
a great spot on a hill to take a photo, where you're standing squarely in
the line of the midpoint between the two towers.
        World's End is off the road that goes from the traffic circle /
rotary on Route 3A at Hingham Harbor over to Hull.
