Walk, Play and Explore on the Boston Harbor Islands
Just off the coast of Boston lie the Boston Harbor Islands. All are rich in natural and cultural resources and yet distinctively different. Climb a lighthouse, explore the beaches or a historic fort, camp under the stars, enjoy a picnic while enjoying sweeping views or hike lush trails and salt marshes. Ferries make regular trips to Spectacle and Georges Islands during the spring, summer and fall; an interisland ferry runs in the summer to service Peddocks, Lovells, Grape and Bumpkin Islands.
