Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area

With 34 islands and peninsulas, the Boston Harbor Islands offer numerous opportunities for visitors to explore, enjoy, and find respite. View historic lighthouses, explore tide pools, hike lush trails, camp under the stars, or relax while fishing, picnicking, or swimming—all within reach of downtown Boston. Composed of eleven agencies, the Boston Harbor Islands Partnership stewards the islands to ensure their open access and preservation for future generations.
