Touching Tribute: Revere Residents Leave Cherished Cigarette Butts In Sand To Keep Spirit Of Beach Alive

July 18, 2022 by Brisa Sylvestre

“Revere Beach is the oldest public beach in America, and there are some traditions you just don’t mess with when places have history,” explained Jo Lynn, putting out a Marlboro red in the sand right next to her sun-bleached Tommy Bahama chair. “My parents left their butts in this sand, their parents left their butts in this sand, and one day I hope my kids leave their butts in this sand. If they don’t smoke, they can leave a ceremonial Pepsi can Necco Wafer wrapper or something.”
