You're looking at a classic image of the oldest public beach in the country, established in 1896. Accessible by the blue subway line, it lies just five miles north of what city?

This is Revere Beach, named for the town, which is in turn named for the man. Revere Beach was the first public beach, first opening in 1896. According to a 2015, the water at Revere is actually cleaner than that at Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. So swim up Boston!
