Phillips Point, located between Phillips Beach and King’s Beach, is a coastal and residential Swampscott neighborhood with rocky shoreline views and pocket beaches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Puritan Road near the Phillips Point shoreline, where salt-air walks, stone seawalls, and passing sailboats set the daily rhythm. Classic New England shingle-style and Colonial homes line curving lanes, many oriented toward the water. The shoreline path links small coves and lookout spots that feel distinctly local. For a cultural anchor nearby, the Cabot Theatre and the Swampscott Public Library add a town-center counterpoint to the oceanfront calm.
