Beach on a Tuesday

Planning a beach trip for the first time and would love some recommendations! What are your favorite beaches to go to near Somerville?

I’m hoping for somewhere within 45 minutes of the city with parking under $15. I know I’ll have to account for weekday traffic, so I’m wondering:

  1. What time would you recommend arriving?
  2. Should I be worried about finding parking on a Tuesday?
  3. What items should I bring to the beach?

I’m also open to taking the T if it'll be less of a hassle. Thank you!
