Hull is a small coastal town located on a narrow peninsula in Boston Harbor, about 20 miles southeast of Boston. Known for its beaches, historic Paragon Carousel, and picturesque Nantasket Beach, Hull has a strong maritime character and serves as a popular summer destination. The town's unique geography, nearly surrounded by water, creates a tight-knit coastal community with a rich seafaring history dating back to the 1600s.
