Hiking

If you haven't been Spectacle Island is a lovely park with really amazing city views all over the island. There are also lovely views of the rest of the harbor islands as well from there. In the summer there is a beach and a visitor center with bathrooms. In some years a snack shack is there as well serving some basic food.
