About Chimneys

Chimneys can be found at the Northeastern University Marine Station. It is an incredibly easy and simple dive with many walls to explore. Parking can be a problem so ask locals for the best option. Directions are as follows: Coming from Boston, take 1A North. It will become North Shore Road, and then Lynnway. Continue to stay on Lynnway, wrapping around the coast, bearing right onto Nahant Road. From that intersection, the site will be on your left in 3.5 miles.
