The islands of Boston Harbor have always been a natural setting for recreation and fitness: The smell of brisk salt air, the feeling of wind on your face, and the shifting of the ferry boat as it navigates the harbor currents are all a part of the experience.
Now Boston Harbor Islands is a Let’s Move! Outside Junior Ranger national park.
It starts with family fun. We have added to and diversified our recreational programs, encouraging families to get moving outside, together, at Boston Harbor Islands.
Just 15 minutes from downtown Boston, Spectacle Island is ideal for hiking, swimming, boating, and learning. Stop in at a “green” visitor center with exhibits about the history and evolution of the island. Go swimming on a sandy beach (one of the few on the islands) supervised by trained lifeguards. Take in panoramic views of the harbor and city from the tallest hill on the Boston Harbor Islands.
