Park on the Boston Harbor Walk
Castle Island
Why locals love it
Now joined to the mainland by a strip of land, visitors are welcome to Castle Island year-round. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, guided tours of Fort Independence run on Saturdays and Sundays for those who wish to learn more about this historic and stunning land.
Why you should visit it
There a path that stretches around the Boston Harbor, creating an artificial pond called Pleasure Bay. There is also a small circular park called the "Sugar Bowl" on the furthest point of the path. The area is great for strollers, joggers, bikers, and observers/explorers. And for history buffs, for whom the guided tour will serve well.
