Benches and shade along the beach walk.
          I visited an AccessSport program at Malibu Beach on the south shore of Boston this week. Malibu Beach seems like a strange place to adventure in the city, with busy roadways on either side. I was surprised by the spacious opportunity to soak up the elements - sun, air, earth and water - and feel both fun and freedom. The unpopulated beach area offers accessible restrooms and an accessible beach stroll above the high tide line. Few people come to swim or sunbathe - its a great place to get some fresh air and open space off of William Morrissey Boulevard. Just be aware there is not much shade. The beach sand is a bit denser than on conventional beaches.
